Re: [Jikesrvm-core] Problems with latest CVS head

[Steve B. <Ste...@an...>]

I just helped someone start out with Jikes RVM from scratch using
the current head and things wound up in a heap.

I remembered this thread and went and installed 1.4.1 on the
machine being used, and sure enough that solved the problem.

The problem arose when doing a simple BaseBaseSemiSpace build
on a RedHat 9.0 machine using Blackdown 1.3.1.

The problem disappeared by simply installing Blackdown 1.4.1
and changing the config file to reflect this.

Is there a good reason why we can't run on 1.3.1, or do folks
think this is a bug?

Cheers,
