I tried again on my debian system (2.0 frozen), and the exact same thing
happens, both when I install from source, and from a .deb package.

I follow the instructions in the README (configure; make; make install) and
still make test, and every other app I try to run fails with that error.

I straced it, and it seems it's looking for Objects.class which I seem to be
missing - do I need any class files from SUN?
