Problems accessing public method of another class

I currently use two classes, ircBot(extends pircbot) and ircRobotti(extends Robotti).

I'm trying to compile the class files on a shell but i'm getting an error:

./ircBot.java:26: cannot find symbol symbol : method lisaaJonoon(int) location: class Robotti annaRobo().lisaaJonoon(suunta);

lisaaJonoon() is defined in ircRobotti and it's public.

Any ideas what might cause the error?

A public method from one class will be accessible in other class if you make sure that

1: Both classes are in same package. If they are in different packages then you need to import the class whose method you are calling.

2: The class whose method is being called, should also be compiled.

3: Make sure, method signatures are same as in called method. (i.e. the number of arguments an d their type)

Just a guess but as you are compiling on a shell you're probably not setting the classpath correctly. How are you invoking javac?

lisaaJonoon(int) has a parameter of type int which is different from lisaaJonoon().
