That might be it - but in looking at my disks, there's no
compiler_eoe.sw.unix - there's compiler_eoe.sw.something (disks not in
front of me).  It *does* make sense that it's looking for a newer
version, and the tardist for Java is simply braindead? 

Honestly, I was at the end of my rope last night.  I was tired, could
barely function, but didn't want to give up.  Finally I decided that
I'll have to live with the success of getting xmms on the system and
leave it at that...

I'll give that a shot.  That makes the most sense to me right now. 
Thanks!
