Java compilation error

[apokalyp5e]

I'm trying to write programs in JBuilder but when i compile it tells me that it is unable to write to output directory. I changed permissions on the dir but still get the same error. any ideas???

Could you copy and paste the error output. Did you give full access to everyone (chmod 777) on the directory? Need some more info.

the error is:
error 914: unable to write to output directory

ls - l returns
drwxrwxrwx

on the directory

word for word
thanks.

Which directory is it?

Seeing as the directory have rwx for all, the only two things I can think of are:
- It's trying to write to a different directory than you think (doubt it, but you never know :-)
- An instance of the program you're compiling is already running.
Could it be that it's trying to write some files to another directory, log-files something like that?

Apart from that I'm at a loss, sorry dude :cool:

Oh, could you post the _whole_ result of the compiler output, not just the error message. Could be some odd little hint in there somewhere.

I solved my problem. I just re-installed the jdk and jre packages and linked them to /usr/bin./ and it worked. don't know why it didn't the first time though. thanks anyways.
