[kepler-dev] problems and fixes in cvs head of ptolemy

[Chad Berkley]

yeah, I'm not sure why this doesn't work.  I thought $CLASSPATH should 
work as well.  Here's the error:


[java] java.lang.Exception: Failed to read configuration 
'file:/home/berkley/project/temp/ptII/ptolemy/configs/full/configuration.xml'

christopher, do you see anything that looks suspicious in that?
