Hi Durga, Couple of days ago I have encountered the same problem while cross-compiling Kaffe for Mipsel. Short inspection with ldd (version for mipsel binaries) of the library "libkaffevm-1.1.7.so" revealed that apart from including some native libraries, it also included library "/lib/ld.so.1". It was quite strange to me, as I have passed propper paths to libraries for the ./configure script. As I couldn't find any neat and reasonable solution, I simply copied the mipsel version of ld.so.1 to /lib/ (of course making the backup). After the compilation the problem was solved - I can receive nice "Hello World!" on my mipsel machine. I hope it helps you. As long as we are with the topic of Kaffe for Mips/Linux, could you tell me, what size is your port of Kaffe? I need to make mine as small as possible, of course keeping reasonable fuctionality. Any hints? Regards, Mike _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list kaffe@kaffe.org http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
