Re: Problems loading the driver

Oliver, thank you very much for your quick response. It seems that I
will have to check this problem with Apple support. The jar driver is
in fact in the CLASSPATH variable but somehow its value is not being
correctly read by java. I was originally working with Xcode (Apple's
IDE). I tried specifying both the CLASSPATH environment variable and
java's -cp switch in the IDE but it did not work. Then I switched to
old-fashioned emacs and a command terminal and I was able to make the
program run, but only when I specify the -cp option in the java
command line. If I do not specify the -cp switch then the program
does not run (even though the jar driver is in the CLASSPATH). I have
not been able to make this program run from the Xcode IDE. Here is
the output of the command terminal to illustrate this problem. Thanks
again.
