I'm NOT some noob looking someone to hold my hand on how to copy and paste, if you can read my posts you'd see so, SO DON'T INSULT ME!!! Now can someone who CAN read and has some idea of how forge works have any idea of what the issue could be, and NO it's NOT how I'm installing it as if Modloader works and Forge was installed the same way but MC with Modloader won't run after Forge is installed! SERIOUSLY I'm looking for troubleshooting help and it's obvious at this point it has nothing to do with user install error so quit pointing that finger!!!

I read the Sticky post and included all the requested information. I started with a clean install(no old copies MC installed) of minecraft 1.2.5 with the intent to run RedPower2.( have tried more then once to install from fresh, same results) I first installed Risugami's Modloader for 1.2.5 by opening the minecraft.jar with Archive(linux) as I have for other mods in the past and copied over the files from Modloader zip and Delete META-INF, then I closed every thing and ran Minecraft from the terminal with "java -Dsun.java3d.opengl=true -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame" and checked that minecraft works, every thing is fine at this point. Then I try to install Forge with the same installation method(Forge Wiki install instructions) of copying ALL the contents of the zip to minecraft.jar in /.minecraft/bin/ and when I try to run MC it just gives the above posted output from the terminal and a blank screen. As far as I can tell I'm not doing any thing wrong with the installation as per Wiki and I have used MC mods in the past (BuildCraft) so installation is not new to me, just hope there is some way to fix this or get it going.

I'm trying to install Forge 3.1.3.105 , I have a fresh install of Minecraft 1.2.5 and installed Modloader for 1.2.5 every thing is fine till Forge is installed , I drop the contents of the zip into Minecraft.jar and after that I just get black screen( YES, META dir is deleted) Here is the output I get at the terminal Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: forge/IShearable at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(ClassLoader.java:634) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(SecureClassLoader.java:142) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(URLClassLoader.java:277) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(URLClassLoader.java:73) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:212) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) at pb.<clinit>(Block.java:60) at qa.<init>(SourceFile:14) at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.<init>(Minecraft.java:232) at n.<init>(SourceFile:33) at net.minecraft.client.MinecraftApplet.init(MinecraftApplet.java:31) at net.minecraft.Launcher.replace(Launcher.java:134) at net.minecraft.Launcher$1.run(Launcher.java:78) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: forge.IShearable at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:217) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:205) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:321) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:266) ... 17 more Here is the modloader.txt log 22-May-2012 9:54:57 PM ModLoader init FINE: ModLoader 1.2.5 Initializing... 22-May-2012 9:54:57 PM ModLoader readFromClassPath FINER: Adding mods from /home/flint/.minecraft/bin/minecraft.jar 22-May-2012 9:54:57 PM ModLoader readFromClassPath FINER: Zip found. 22-May-2012 9:54:58 PM ModLoader addAllRenderers FINE: Initialized As for system specs I'm running Ubuntu Linux 10.10 64bit 4GigRAM Java JDK6 If I just drop the forge zip into Mods dir from ModLoader it seems to load fine but then mods that need Forge don't work or crash.
