Thanks Tim, I subscribed to the Jython group hosted by sourceforge, and they are a great bunch of guys/gals.
Here's what I did to fix my problem. 1. removed Jython 2.1 (using Synaptic)jytho 2. added the following lines (as root) to /etc/profile # set PATH for Jython PATH=$PATH:/home/neil/jython2.2 export PATH I had to restart X, that's it solved!!
