More Runtime.exec()

[Mike Boilen]

That's very interesting.  What system are you on?  I'm on Solaris 2.6
and I don't have any problem with that code.  It executes gcc correctly
on my machine (verified because it compiles a test.c I have in that
directory).  I wonder if it is a platform specific problem.  You might
want to try one of the other versions of exec (maybe
exec(String,String[])) and see if one of those works.  If one of the
other ones works, then we might have a better idea as to what is wrong.  
Does anyone else have any suggestions?
