Re: [rvm-research] Jikes Setup

Hi Rich,

I think this error is related to building Jikes RVM 3.1.2 with OpenJDK 
1.7. See this bug report:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/RVM-969

I suggest upgrading to Jikes RVM 3.1.3 and/or building with OpenJDK 1.6.

Also, if you're actually on a 64-bit machine (pretty likely these days), 
I think you need to use the x86_64 target (which still builds a 32-bit 
VM, but on a 64-bit platform).

Cheers,
Mike
