compile--cannot resolve symbol

Post by Christopher Hall »

I am trying to compile classes that instantiate other classes I make, such as the following (following the Monkey example in the other posts). I get errors whenever I call the Monkey class:
Monkey gorilla = new Monkey();

This computer has the J2SDK v1.4 installed under Windows XP. This problem also occurs under the fleet of Windows 2000 computers I try it on. However, I also have the same things installed under Windows 98 without any additional configuring. This works under Win98, but so far not under the NT-type systems.

Another side note--I also have MS VJ++ installed on the Win XP computer. Since VJ++ uses a different compiler, it works. I have also tried to set the Win XP path environment variables to the \bin directory under my JDK install. This does not work.

I am in need of ideas, as many users I support will soon begin needing TextPad to work under the Win 2000 machines.

I finally tweaked some settings on WinXP--like more environment variables--and got it to compile. I don't have a CLASSPATH specified (though that might interfere with more Visual Studio functions I don't know about) and I adjusted both PATHs in a different way.
