Habibi book--HELP-I have a problem compiling the source as outlined on pages 319-320

[Omobola Wusu]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a problem compiling the source as outlined on pages 319-320 of the book. I started reading the book from chapter 1 up to this point, chapter 8. I was successful in compiling and running the DennysDVDs1.0 sample application in chapter 3.

I am using java version 1.4.2_05.I have followed every instruction given. I am stuck on the third line of Figure 8-3, Compiling the source into classes directory. The first and second line were successful, but the third line generated 13 compiler errors. Below is a copy of my screen shot. Please, help!

This looks amazingly like your previous post, If this was the Sun Java Forums you would get flamed. As its the kinder gentler JavaRanch, I'll ask for the one thing you didn't tell us in your postings:

What is your CLASSPATH set to? When the complier or the runtime can't find things, that's the first place you should look.

[fixed typos /pkw]

Thanks for your help. Actually, the two postings are the same. I wasn't even thinking in terms of my CLASSPATH. I was only concentrating on whether I made a typo error while typing the book instructions on the command line.

Thanks,

Omobola

Your welcome, and Max's book is very useful, but I still haven't downloaded the example.

Good luck! /pkw

Hi Omobola,

Welcome to JavaRanch and this forum.

I deleted the duplicate post so as to avoid confusion. I am assuming that your thanks to Peter indicates that fixing your classpath did fix your problem.

Regards, Andrew

Yes, fixing the classpath did fix the problem.

Thanks, Omobola
