Hi Guillaume,
First, congtrats on your experiments with Java 2 and Java3D on Linux.
I tried a few months ago with Blackdown's first release, but ran into
UnsatisfiedLinkErrors when I tried to run anything that opened a window.
So I have not yet run VisAD successfully on Linux.
According to the VisAD FAQ, 'Class ... not found' errors are generally
due to an error in your CLASSPATH. However, since your errors are not
occuring until you get to the visad/examples directory, where the source
files do not include package statements, the problem may be more subtle.
First, does your CLASSPATH include the parent directory of your visad
directory, and '.' (the current directory)? I believe that the '.' is
necessary to compile visad/examples because these classes do not have
a package statement. As a test, you might try:
cd visad/examples
javac -J-mx32m *.java
Also, on all matters related to the VisAD Makefile I defer to Dave
Glowacki, who knows much more about it than I do. So Dave, please
correct me if I'm wrong about this.

This could be a problem with Linux Java 2 or Java3D. Have you
tried the demos under jdk1.2/demo/jfc or jdk1.2/demo/java3d?
Do you get the disappearing frame with both Java2D and Java3D
demos? (Test41 for Java2D, Test42 for Java3D, in examples).
Cheers,
Bill
