Is this the GCContent tutorial example from the website?
If so, recent versions of it use the SeqIOTools class, which
is new in the 1.1x branch.

I can get you an old version which compiles with 1.0x if you
want, but 1.1 is better in lots of ways, so I'd stick with that.

What errors?  Can you send me a copy of the output?

How slow is slowly?

To put things in perspective, a full build for me takes
about 1 minute on a 300 MHz Pentium II, Linux 2.2, Sun JDK 1.3.
Pre-1.3 JDKs will probably be a bit slower than this.

Do you get any errors?
