[Sablevm-developer] Bug#230770: sablevm: cannot create vm

[James D. <jd...@ny...>]

Package: sablevm
Version: 1.0.9-3
Severity: important

I'm running a combined Woody/Sarge installation of Debian, and I can't
seem to get sablevm to run.

When I attempt to run the following "Hello World" program, I get the
indicated output.  I saw in the sablevm-developer SourceForge mailing
list
(http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3D3250407&forum_id=
=3D4154) that the problem may be with the inlined interpreter, but I think =
I'm using the direct-threaded interpreter.

-------- Hello.java --------
public class Hello {
    public static void main( String[] args ) {
        System.out.println("Hello World");
    }
}

-------- Hello.java --------

$ javac Hello.java
$ sablevm -v Hello
