Starting with gcj - having problems

[Heiko Nardmann <h dot nardmann at secunet dot de>]

I would like to get away from JBuilder and Visual Cafe instead using
gcj.
Some time ago I installed the whole GCC 2.95.2 package.

My current project involves building a servlet using the Oracle
Application Server
and its JWEB cartridge.
So I copied all my source to my Linux machine, looked for the zip file
with the
Oracle classes and tried the following:

gcj -I../oracle.zip -C HTMLappData.java

What I want is get a class file from this java file.
So I suppose the '-C' flag is ok, isn't it?

Now I get the error message below.
Is this because gcj is somehow experimental or is there something wrong
with my setup?
The first time I started gcj it complained about a missing libgcj.spec.
So I looked with strace
which paths gcj checked and touched such a file. That's probably not
sufficient, is it?

Here is the error message:

package `oracle.html'.
