I have SuSE 8.2 pro and am looking into compiling java.
I tried looking for javac first and it wasn't available. The man page for
it is there, but no executable and is is not on the installation CD when
doing a search via yast2.

I installed gcc-java (error free) (yast2 auto included a couple of
libraries) from the distribution disk, but I can't get it to work. whereis
can't find gcc-java. I have no idea what version is it supposed to be.

I tried 'gcc -x java file.java' and 'gcc -x none file.java'. Both of them
give me a screen full of errors. The source file is the HelloWorld.java
file from Sun's Java tutorial website.

I also did an update from the SuSe archives, and there were no new files
available.

Thanks, John
