java.lang.VerifyError(Eclipse vs Command Line)

Dear all,

I'm a very new user of the java programming language. I'm experimenting with using Eclipse and Java commands built in to our University network. I've come up against a problem that I cannot resolve...

In Eclipse (on Windows), i've written a class which takes routines from some External JARs and produces some outputs. It works, great!

Now I want to run it from the command line (SuSe Linux)...

I've defined my CLASSPATH to include (explicitly) each of the .jar files that are required. Then, i compile my .java file:

javac SobolGenerator.java

BUT i get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: Statistics/Random, method: <clinit> signature: ()V) Incompatible argument to function

at QuasiRandom.Sobol.<init>(Sobol.java:436)

at SobolGenerator.generateNew(SobolGenerator.java:43)

at SobolGenerator.main(SobolGenerator.java:151)

I don't think it's anything I've written myself (but probably is), since it refers to an error in the Statistics/Random method...

QuasiRandom.Sobol issues the following command:

double u=Random.U1();

======================================

package Statistics;

import cern.jet.random.*;

import cern.jet.random.engine.MersenneTwister;

public class Random{

static double Y=0; //second normal deviate from Box-Muller

static boolean New=true;//flag indicating wether a new normal deviate

// has to be computed (otherwise Y is reported)

/**

First MersenneTwister uniform random number generator.

*/

public static final Uniform

uniform_1=new Uniform(new MersenneTwister(113));

/**

Second MersenneTwister uniform random number generator.

*/

public static final Uniform

uniform_2=new Uniform(new MersenneTwister(2113));

/**

First uniform u\in(0,1).

*/

public static double U1(){ return uniform_1.nextDouble(); }

/**

Second uniform u\in(0,1).

*/

public static double U2(){ return uniform_2.nextDouble(); }

/** Fair draw from {1,-1}.

*/

public static int Sign()

{

double x=U1(); return (x>0.5)? 1:-1;

}

/**

Loaded draw X from {-1,1}.

* X=1 with probability p,

* X=-1 with probability 1-p.

*

* @param p Probability that X=+1.

*/

public static int Sign(double p)

{

double x=U1(); return (x<p)? 1:-1;

}

/**>

Standard normal deviate using the inverse normal CDF on uniform

* deviates generated by the Mersenne Twister.

*/

public static double STN()

{

return FinMath.N_Inverse(uniform_1.nextDouble());

} //end STN()

} // end Random

==========================================

As i say, Eclipse does the whole thing fine but the command line approach doesn't work.

So if anyone can help I will be extremely grateful.

Best regards,

Neil

Sorry i forgot to mention one small thing...

After compiling (which is fine) I run it:

java SobolGenerator

Maybe that was obvious?
