Try upgrading to the latest Jikes version (1.14). You can find
it at:
http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10
&release_id=119
[This is from memory -- I fixed the problem and moved on, but...]
Previous versions of Jikes looked for the file iiimp.jar in the
.../jre/lib/ext directory. I don't know what for. JDK 1.3+
seems to have eliminated this file. Jikes 1.14 seems to have
removed this dependency. To use Jikes 1.13 or less, you can copy
the .../jre/lib/ext/iiimp.jar file to the JDK 1.3+ directory tree
from a previous JDK version and it should work as well.
Try that and see if it helps.
