Hi Pascal,
Good golly - that is incredibly helpful info. Thank you so much. I
cc'd the Fedora group with your note as they may very well be others
who can make good use of your instructions/example.
Best Wishes,

My challenge now is to locate the CLASSPATH in question so as to
be able to make that change from Xalan to SaxonB - which I will
try to do.
As I understand it, you may need to setup the CLASSPATH yourself,
if you are using jpackage. You have several options for this. You
can create a new file called 'java.sh' in /etc/profile.d that
contains the Jars that
you want. Instructions on Stanton Finley's site will give you
details on setting up Java, but you only need to pay attention to
the part about java.sh (see http://stanton-finley.net/
fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html )
Note that this method will setup CLASSPATH system-wide, meaning
that other users on your computer will also use the same CLASSPATH
settings. My personal preference is to add the CLASSPATH line
inside my home directory, in the file '.bash_profile'. This is what
my .bash_profile looks like:
# ---------------------------------------------
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
#PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
# JAVA environment variables
JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm/java2-i386-50
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
# DITA environment variables
ANT_HOME=/opt/apache-ant-1.6.5
ANT_OPTS="-Xmx256M"
PATH=$ANT_HOME/bin:$PATH
XALAN_HOME=/opt/xalan-j_2_7_0
FOP_HOME=/opt/fop-0.20.5
DITA_HOME=/home/chongym/DITA-OT1.3.1
CLASSPATH=$FOP_HOME/build/fop.jar:$FOP_HOME/lib/batik.jar:
$FOP_HOME/lib/avalon-f
ramework-cvs-20020806.jar:$XALAN_HOME/xalan.jar:$DITA_HOME/lib:
$DITA_HOME/lib/do
st.jar:$DITA_HOME/lib/resolver.jar:$CLASSPATH
export JAVA_HOME ANT_HOME ANT_OPTS PATH FOP_HOME XALAN_HOME DITA_HOME
CLASSPATH
# ----------------------------------------------
Note that I am using Xalan here. If I wanted Saxon, I would simply
add "SAXON_HOME=" and point it to the install directory for Saxon
and add the jars to my CLASSPATH definition above.
