Re: JDBC and Perl compiling problems w/ postgresql-7.1rc4

Thought that I share this with the group. Thanks Marco.

The problem was gone once I created a soft link to
JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar in the default directory
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/. I have not set specific CLASSPATH
variable and I could understand the problem better if
I had seen the problem when using ant to build other
pkgs. I used ant to build tomcat and never saw this
problem!

For those of you looking for the compiled jar file
go to the bottom of following page

Thanks,
HY
