The instructions were written assuming you did a cvs checkout.
In that case the top-level directory would be named `libgcj'.

That is, you are supposed to run the top-level configure script, not
one of the ones in a subdirectory.

This won't work.

Offhand I don't know what could be causing the particular problem you
report.  It looks like gcj doesn't realize that
java/lang/ConcreteProcess.java is a file argument.

Could you run this from your libjava build directory?

	gcj -v -C -g -classpath /projects/learning/usr/java/libgcj-snapshot-1999-05-13/build:`cd ../libjava && /bin/pwd` -d /projects/learning/usr/java/libgcj-snapshot-1999-05-13/build java/lang/ConcreteProcess.java

I'm hoping the `-v' will tell us something useful, though I doubt it
will.

BTW, when pasting configure/make output into email, could you turn off
word wrap?  The wrapping makes it harder to read.
