Compiling on SOLARIS 2.7 and runtime crash of the jvm.

[Natarajan Balasundara]

I just now downloaded and tried to compile japhar
on my solaris 2.7

I was looking for some comments on the two things:


(1) The following line in lib/libruntime/Makefile:

        libruntime_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info 1:0:0 $(ZLIB)

        causes this error:

        libtool: link: error: cannot link shared libraries into libtool 
libraries

        So, I removed, $(ZLIB) and the compilation seemed to go fine.

        Is this a correct modification or would this cause me grief later       
        on(especially since I have done it blindly)?


(2) On a trivial class file(compiled with Solaris JDK-2.0), a.java:
        class a{
         static public void main(String[] args){
        };
        };

        with my CLASSPATH looking something like this:
        $ echo $CLASSPATH
        /emc/nbalasun/local/lib/ext:/emc/nbalasun/local/share

        I get the following result when I run:
        .
        .
        .
        inflate:   blocks reset
        inflate: reset
        inflate:     dynamic codes block (last)
        inflate:   blocks reset
          blocks reset
        inflate: reset
        Bus Error (core dumped)




Looking at what happens inside gdb:
        .
        .
        .
        inflate:   blocks reset
        inflate: reset

        Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

I was wondering if any one had any comments or suggestions before I spend
time on figuring out something that might be obvious to someone who has gone 
through this before.



Thanks a lot,
Nat.
