This is right.

The FAQ doesn't recommend uncompressing libgcj.zip.

Alexis> Everytime I run the program HelloWorld I get a core dump.

Your best bet is simply to unset CLASSPATH.
Failing that, point it directly at libgcj.zip.

Do this before compiling. your program.

If that fails, send a stack trace.
