Just to add to my earlier report, here is the kaffe 1.05 compile
failure. What strikes me as odd is that Connection.java complains
because it can't find org/postgresql/Field, but if I try to compile
Field.java complains it can't find Connection.java.
Now, having the 6.5.3 JAR file, I can compile the 6.5.3 postgresql java
driver because I have the jar file to back up the unreferenced symbols.
The 7.0 driver uses org.postgresql, which is not in the 6.5.3 JAR file,
so it fails.
The java IRC channel says kaffe isn't very good, so maybe I shouldn't be
worried about it. They also said mutually-referencing java files are
not a good either.
Seems I may be able to modify the import lines in the java file to use
the 6.5.3 JAR file to get enough files compiled to compile the rest,
then recompile the entire thing.
Using the jar file compiled with Sun java works fine. I can connect to
the database and run my program.
