Yes.  I have version 0.9.0 installed  on my system, it compiles the App just
fine.  I would check and make sure you have your CLASSPATH defined etc.
and that the files have the correct permissions to allow you to read them.
I should also mention, that I extracted the classes.zip file and pointed
my CLASSPATH variable at the directory I put them in.
