I'm trying to run a program ( BurnIT for writing CD's) that is written in Java. However, when I run it I get the message "Can't find class BurnIT" even though BurnIT.java is in the directory. I've done a lot of experiments now and determined that the problem is much more general: I created a sample Java program in /tmp and had exactly the same difficulty. There's a note in SuSE Help about CLASSPATH being related to this problem, but I unset CLASSPATH (which had a null value anyway) and it made no difference. I've also explored the directory /usr/lib/java/bin/i686/green_threads, which has a great number of java variants, but I can't find anything revealing there, and the critical executables, java.SuSE-static and java.SuSE-dynamic, are in binary form. I'm running SuSE 5.3, and from the names of the files this does seem to be a SuSE problem. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get my Java programs to run? They do seem to run under Netscape - but the note in SuSE Help indicates that usually they do even when other classes can't be located.
