[rvm-research] Jikes RVM Quick Start Guide

[Iverson, P. N <ive...@ro...>]

I am a student a Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Brazil, Indiana.  I am currently taking a class here for Dynamic Storage Reclamation.  We are going to be using jikesrvm for this.  Anyways, I was trying to use the quickstart guide and found that it wouldn't completely compile for the life of me.  It always gave me 9 cryptic errors.  I had Bison, textinfo, g++, gcc, gdb, build-essentials, jdk, jre, perl, and everything else I found through the documentation that might be useful.  I downloaded the tar file though, and set-up a .ant.properties folder, changed a line of code in the RunBootImage.C, and it worked.   Just wanted to let someone know that I don't think the quickstart guide is working
