Yeah. The interpreter (gij) is very slow, its not really meant to be a
comparable Java replacement by itself, at least not yet.

Do you have a libgcj.jar? It should be installed in a "share" directory
relative to the compiler itself., eg /usr/share/libgcj.jar. Maybe you
need to install a "libgcj-devel" RPM to get it?
You are correct in that you shouldn't need to put libgcj.jar on the
classpath.
