Hi!

Thanks Grzegorz, I have now successfully installed SableVM, CacaoVM and 
Kaffe.

Thanks. I have now done it by going in all directories manually and type the 
./configure / make / make install

And happily I have not this
http://sablevm.org/lists/sablevm-user/2005-August/000389.html
problem on my computer.
I have a Intel Pentium HT in 64 bit, too. But I have not the problem, which 
Matt have on my SuSE 9.3


>Let us know how it went,

Yes, it works very fine.
The biggest problems have the KaffeVM, which can run some AWT-programs, but 
have with Swing problems.
So I using mostly CacaoVM and SableVM.

To use both is necessary to see, if existing bugs are in the VM or in GNU 
Classpath.

At the moment I have mostly tested AWT and Swing-programs. But in this case, 
there are not so much differences between the VMs.
They looks both fast. The menu in Swing have nearly the same speed in 
SableVM and CacaoVM.
Only if I move the Window the an other position, then the left top corner, 
then the menu makes Errors. But thats a problem of GNU Classpath

But the on the cacaojvm mentioned game "foxhunt" seems to be on CacaoVM a 
significant faster.
Trying to hold the left mouse button down and open a line of fields or so is 
on Cacao faster. So it is possible, that the EventHandler or so in Cacao are 
faster.
An other point are, that in Swing (AWT I haven't tried for this) shows 
german umlauts wrong. CacaoVM on the other side, show it correct.
For example in menus "Öffnen" or "Einfüfen" the "Ö" and "ü"
Here a list of all german umlaut: Ä Ö Ü ä ö ü ß

An additional point is, that CacaoVM and SableVM seems mystical.
Sometimes they don't want to run a Swing-program and aborts with an error. 
But if I try it after that again, the Swing program runs without problems.
Because CacaoVM and SableVM have the same problem, I think, its a problem of 
Classpath.

Later I have tried to use GNU Classpath 0.17 instead of the installed 0.16 
in CacaoVM and SableVM.
But after the update, both aborting with and MemoryAccessError by trying to 
run Java-programs.


What I mostly like on SableVM over the other VMs (especially CacaoVM) is the 
license: LGPL instead of GPL. :-)

But who have all worked on it? Is it possible that you put it additionaly 
under the APL, so that the Apache-people can use it for Harmony? 
http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/


But nice work, what you have done.
I will test it later more - when I am back at home.
