Re: "SableVM SDK for Java" - preview release available for download

Hhmmm. Seems to have hit the wall building libgtkpeer ...

ld: .libs/gnu_java_awt_peer_gtk_GdkFontPeer.o illegal reference to 
symbol: _pango_ft2_font_map_create_context defined in indirectly 
referenced dynamic library /sw/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib
ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol _locale_charset
/sw/lib/libiconv.dylib(localcharset.o) definition of _locale_charset
/sw/lib/libintl.dylib(localcharset.lo) definition of _locale_charset
make[4]: *** [libgtkpeer.la] Error 1

I'm not sure how to move ahead on this one (and am out of time on it 
for right now).

Any suggestions?  THanks.....Peter
