I *really* appreciate this mail, and it did in fact prompt me to make 
some changes.  Didn't (in the final analysis) fix anything, but I think 
maybe it's more correct.

I had my installation in /usr/local/jdk1.5.0, but after inspecting that 
listing, it seemed that a more correct path included the version (p1) so 
now my installation is in /usr/local/jdk1.5.0-p1.  I added safety 
softlinks to jdk and jdk1,5.0, andd I tested at each and every midpoint, 
in case some casae I was transient-ing the magic point.  Wasn't.

OK, I still have the same exact error message:

july:chuckr:~/jdk/Argo:#149>java -jar argouml.jar
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

if you felt it would do any good, I would even give you a login to 
inspect the premises, so to speak (just mail me a ssh line).

I only have this one demo app, ArgoUML, if you have another you trust, 
could you give me a url?
