Cannot compile anything.....

Ok. After fixing the quicktime problem I tried loading up an example and hitting play like the readme said to do (common sense).
Here's what I got:
Strange error while compiling, please send code to processing@media.mit.edu
then under compiler error it says
use: jikes [options] [@files] file.java...use: jikes [options] [@files] file.java...
For more help, try -help or -version.For more help, try -help or -version.
What am I doing wrong? I have qt installed properly with java support. I have read everything I could on running (shouldn't be this difficult). I click the compile/play button and nothing compiles.
The installation is fresh, nothing modified. I used standard version for Windows, and I'm running on a windows 2000 package with most if not all the latest updates. The processing I installed is also the latest version.
Any clue whatsup? Thanks.

there are probably spaces in either your CLASSPATH or the QTJAVA path. if there are spaces, make sure there are quotes around the whole thing (not just individual bits).
if that's not it, could you open up a command prompt and type
echo %QTJAVA%
echo %CLASSPATH%
and post what it says, and we'll go from there..

Problems... continued.
So I reinstalled the package (processing) onto my primary drive (C and tried compiling.
Here's a new error message:
*** Semantic Caution: The input file "Files/processing-0059/lib/comm.jar; -nowarn +E -d lib/build lib/build/Temporary_910_4975.java" was not found.
What does this mean?

Hey Fry thanks for the quick reply.
Here's the output from my cmd:
C:\>echo %QTJAVA%
C:\WINNT\system32\QTJava.zip"
C:\>echo %CLASSPATH%
"¦ÿ1x\QTJava.zip"
Wierd how QTJAVA gives a quote after it, while classpath has some variable before it.
Any suggestions?
(btw the last error message in my reply was caused due to installing in the program files path, since program files has a space).

Fixed! Thanks. Didn't know classpath was important too.
This is for everybody who installed QT without the java component. It's important to set both classpath and QTJava to the actual path without a variable in front (¦ÿ1x\ in my case...).

that weird Sy1x thing is a bug in the qtjava installer, and it's what's breaking most people's stuff.
in your specific case, you can delete the CLASSPATH env variable on your machine, and remove the quote at the end of the QTJAVA var, and that should have things operating more properly.

i've implemented a new workaround for apple's qtjava bug in rev 0060, so that should fix the issue.
