I am having a LOT of trouble with kaffe 1.0.5 and 1.04b!!!
I am using Zentropix RT Linux 2.2 (based on Red Hat 6.0), glibc 2.1.1,
libungif 4.1.0,
kernel version 2.2.10. When I first installed the kaffe source, it built
without errors
and passed all it's self-tests (make check). However, when I tried to run my
application
(which runs reliably on blackdown JDK 1.1.6 v5), kaffe would not load images
from .gif
files. Displaying the Image for one of these (System.out.println ("image " +
imagename))
I get "image (-1, -1, ..., 1c0 producer error)". On a linux 2.0.35 system,
kaffe
fails most of it's self-tests, but does load images.
Anyhow, the only (possibly germane) difference was that /usr/local/lib on the
2.0.35
system had libungif.so -> libungif.so.4.1, so I made a similar link on my
2.2.10
system, then typed:
make uninstall
make distclean
./configure
make
make install
make check
I've tried this several times, and each time, I now fail 85 of the 91 included
tests
- haven't even tried running anything. The 1.04b binaries I got with the
distribution
don't work either; I get crazy errors about missing fields before I get to the
parts
which try to load the images.
Judging from the rather esoteric errors in the kaffe bug database, somebody's
getting this
stuff to run. Do I need a secret decoder ring or what???
I desperately need an open-source replacement for Java so I'm willing to try
all
suggestions.
Thanks
