I just installed ver 10.02 on kubuntu 7.10.
newlisp-edit fails to load with the following errors:

tim@bart:~/prj/cgi/newlisp$ newlisp-edit
newLISP-GS v.1.27 on Linux

I've got java version 1.5.0 installed and symlinked to /usr/bin
Don't know much about java but that UnsatisfiedLinkError must mean
something profound ......
any help is appreciated.
thanks
tim

The Java which comes with Ubuntu will not work. You have to install a Java JRE run time environment for Linux from sun.com.

:-(
I'm strongly considering dumping this OS and going back to slack....
Before I re-install java, I'm going to have to check and see if that won't
clobber something else that I need on this machine....

Thanks Lutz. I really appreciate both of the quick replies.
