gcj compilation

[Fx Mx <lard_power at yahoo dot com>]

Hello everyone:

i've been programming Java for a while but i'm having
the following problem migrating to gcj.

I wrote the following "simplest possible" code to
demonstrate what's going on...

::::::::::::::
thing.java
::::::::::::::
import java.io.*;
import beasts.Animal;

public class thing {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Animal.FreakOut();
        }
}
::::::::::::::
beasts/Animal.java
::::::::::::::
package beasts;

import java.io.*;

public class Animal {
    public static void FreakOut() {
        System.out.println("BLEAGH!");
    }
}

and here is the error message:

bash-2.05b$ gcj --main=thing thing.java
/tmp/cceHFZpD.o(.text+0x13): In function
`thing::main(JArray<java::lang::String*>*)':
: undefined reference to `beasts::Animal::FreakOut()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

even though javac and java run it fine:

bash-2.05b$ java thing       
BLEAGH!

I've looked through the FAQ, docs, and I just dont see
what's going on... the crazy thing is that if I say
something like Animal.TweakOut() which is actually not
defined, i get:
bash-2.05b$ gcj --main=thing thing.java
thing.java: In class `thing':
thing.java: In method
`thing.main(java.lang.String[])':
thing.java:6: error: Can't find method `TweakOut()' in
type `beasts.Animal'.
            Animal.TweakOut();
                     ^

thanks in advance!
