batik-1.5.1-r1 does not start and reports "SVG Error: SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found" (see attached screen shot), although all dependencies are met. A different error message is printed into the console: $ java -jar /usr/share/batik/lib/batik.jar java.io.IOException: SAX2 driver class org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser not found at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.dom.util.SAXDocumentFactory.createDocument(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.apps.svgbrowser.XMLPreferenceManager$XMLProperties.load(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.util.PreferenceManager.load(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.apps.svgbrowser.Main.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.apache.batik.apps.svgbrowser.Main.main(Unknown Source) Whereas batik-1.5.1 stars without problems. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge batik [1.5.1-r1 is affected] 2. invoke batik using "java -jar /usr/share/batik/lib/batik.jar" 3. Actual Results: batik stops starting and gives error message as I described above. Expected Results: batik-1.5.1-r1 should run like batik-1.5.1, i.e. withoug giving an error message. $ emerge info Portage 2.0.51_rc9 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.4.2, glibc-2.3.4.20041006-r0, 2.6.9-rc3 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-rc3 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.5.3 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 Binutils: sys-devel/binutils-2.15.92.0.2 Headers: sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r1 Libtools: sys-devel/libtool-1.5.2-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-mtune=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-mtune=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -ftracer -msse -mmmx -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache distlocks sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex alsa apm avi bitmap-fonts cdr divx4linux dvd dvdr f77 foomaticdb gphoto2 gpm libwww matroska mmx mmx2 mpeg nptl oggvorbis pdflib quicktime speex sse ssl svg tcpd theora truetype unicode usb x86 xprint xv xvid zlib video_cards_radeon"

Same problem here, but I guess it must be a classpath problem...
Added a wrapper script
