The quickest solution might be to create the jde/java/lib/ directory
yourself, and then create a symlink in there to your bsh.jar.  I think
I remember having to do this a long time ago, before I switched to
gentoo.  The JDEE that comes in the gentoo package tree doesn't have
this problem.  Perhaps they fix it for you during the install.  Where
did you get JDEE?  A tarball?  Apt?  Portage?

Another thing to check: which version of JDEE are you running?  It
should be 2.3.5.1.
