Can you paste in here what you typed in for step #9 and the result?
What is the exact command-line that you are issuing to execute the demo 
programs, and can you supply the full text of the error (the whole stack 
trace)?

As a side note, when you submit questions to programming forums, try to 
reproduce your problem in a completely textual form (both what you 
entered and everything the computer spit back at you) and append that to 
the email.
