Unable to get the CommAPI to work.

[Kevin L. Pauba]

I'm trying to use jikes and kaffe together to develop a java programmer
for the PIC microcontroller.  To do this I need serial and/or parallel
port access.  I'm able to get a program working using the Linux RXTX
implementation of the commapi but can't get it to work using kaffe's.

I'm using kaffe-1.0.6.  Here are some details:

$ env | grep CLASS
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/kaffe/comm.jar:/usr/local/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar:.

$ cat /etc/ld.so.conf

/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib

/usr/local/lib/kaffe
$ #     Note: I've run ldconfig already.
$ kaffe Test

Cannot find port!

Anyone have ideas to get kaffe's commapi to work?
