   Thanks for the lead.  I installed Java RTE !.5.0_06-17 which came on the O/S CDs and the problem has disappeared.  I haven't actually completed either a standard or automatically created "make" but at least the wizard gets started.

   (Installing Java 1.5 was a long story.  I eventually upgraded SuSE Linux from 9.1 to 10.1 with a completely new installation and now have a reasonable system again.  An O/S one has had for years is like a comfortable bed, but the pain seems to have been worth it!!)
