Hi Chengwei,
 
There are two problems here, I think.
 
First, VisAD requires JDK 1.2 which is not yet implemented
on SGI.
 
Second, the error messages you are getting usually indicate
that your CLASSPATH does not include the parent directory
of your visad directory - that's the parent.  So if VisAD
is installed in /home/cwvon/java/visad, then your CLASSPATH
needs to include /home/cwvon/java.  I hope that SGI will
port JDK 1.2 soon - in the meantime JDK 1.2 is ported to
Solaris, Windows and DEC Unix.
 
Happy holidays,
Bill
