Hi,

I've downloaded and installed Ice on Linux (LFS 4) without any obvious problems. I've tried building the Printer example from the docs. Compiles and links OK. When I try to run the server or client I get an exception:
../../include/IceUtil/Handle.h:44 IceUtil::NullHandleException
thrown in ic = Ice::initialize(argc,argv)

Running make test fails in test/Ice/exceptions, testing checked cast.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong?
I've probably missed something obvious so prepared to be embarrassed!

Mike
