will it work?

[Dubyo]

Hello!

I recently downloaded kaffe-1.0.b1-1.src.rpm, and it wont rebuild. I took
the included kaffe-1.0.b1.tar.gz and got an executable that core dumps.

Are there any undocumented configure options to get it right?

The system is a sparcstation ipx running a glibc-based linux distribution
(redhat 5.1).

Yours, Peter


PS: I gave it another try and got me kaffe-snap.tar.gz
