Here's the class it 'cries' about: Directory of d:\progz\java\teambots\src\tbsim [.] [..] Makefile SimulationCanvas.java TBSim.java TBSimApplet.java TBSimNoGraphics.java index.html test.html SimulationCanvas.class TBSim.class TBSimApplet.class TBSimNoGraphics.class Now, according to the installation instructions' on 'http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~trb/TeamBots/#INSTALLING', we have also to add: Directory of d:\progz\java\teambots\lib 18/04/2000 07:00 pm 259.265 collections.jar And finally I do: set CLASSPATH=d:\progz\java\teambots;d:\progz\java\teambots\lib\collections.jar;. And 'd: cd d:\progz\java\teambots\domains\soccerbots\teams demo.bat' It does a: D:\Progz\Java\TeamBots\Domains\SOCCER~1\teams>java TBSim.TBSim robocup.dsc 511 3 00 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TBSim/TBSim And returns to the prompt... :/ I have re-downloaded file some times to assure there's no file corruption at all.
