Hi Qian Li,

I am replying to you with a CC: to the sablevm-user mailing-list.  Please

SableVM 1.1.1 was released just yesterday; I would recommend that you use it
instead of 1.1.0.  You can download it from:
  http://devel.sablevm.org/download/

Then, you must follow the instructions in:
  http://devel.sablevm.org/docs/INSTALL.txt

In order for "./configure" to work, you need to make sure that all the required
Debian packages are installed on your system.  Which version of Debian are you
running?  Are you running the "stable" version (also called "3.0" or "Woody")?

Can you also provide us with a complete error message you get from ./configure
and/or make?

See comments below.

On a correcly setup Debian machine, you can do:
$ su  # to become "root" user temporarily
...
$ apt-get install libffi2-dev  # install libffi2 and the development headers
...
$ exit # release "root" priviledges.

You should not install any other *.tar.gz than the sablevm 1.1.1 ones.  Delete
the 1.0.9 and 1.1.0 files and directories, then download 1.1.1 files and
expand them using:

$ tar -xzvf sablevm-1.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf sablevm-classpath-1.1.1.tar.gz


Good luck!

Etienne
