You don't give the actual error messages -- my guess it that
they're complaining about not finding the TestCase class.  To
run the test suite, you need to download JUnit (http://www.junit.org/)
and add junit.jar to your CLASSPATH.

The test suite is aimed mainly at people who are actively developing
the library, rather than as something to be run whenever you install
it.  The tests are also run by the nightly build system, and you can
see results at:
