problem installing SiRPAC

Hi:

I am trying to install SiRPAC-1.11 on Sun Solaris 2.6 running JDK1.2beta4. I 
have installed xml4j (1.1.16 and 2.0.6) as well as saxjava-1.0. I believe that 
my PATH and CLASSPATH have been properly set. Yet I am not able to execute the 
java -D... command successfully:

- If I execute the downloaded SiRPAC.class file, I get an "Exception in thread 
"main" java.lang.ClassFormatError: org/w3c/rdf/SiRPAC (Illegal constant pool 
type)" error.

- So I recompiled SiRPAC.java, and when I executed this compiled version, I get 
an "error during parsing:>Internal error java.lang.NullPointerException" (see 
attachment for details).

I am unable to figure out what is wrong. I am familiar with the SiRPAC tool on 
the W3C web site and have used it several times.


Can you please help? I really need to get past this soon. If you need more 
information, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any insights. 
Lalitha
