Hi,
I have a manually installed j2re1.4.1_01 on Debian and from my observations   
the java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError for ERtool is experienced when java can't 
find erw.jar as you noticed.

'ertool' runs ok for me when i have created a link to the erw.jar file in the 
java extensions directory. Using your pathing it would be:
ln -s /home/test/ERW/ERtool/erw.jar /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/lib/ext/erw.jar

I haven't needed to use the export CLASSPATH method that you describe above 
so can't directly answer that question, but it works ok anyway using this 
link technique.

Hope this helps,
- Jason.
