Hello, sorry, I think starting the thread http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-classpath/2009-07/msg00027.html in the bug-classpath list was not right place, so I thought it might be better to keep on going in this list ... I got to run JamVm v1.5.3 and classpath 0.98 on Ubuntu 8.04 using the following configure options for classpath: ./configure --disable-gtk-peer --disable-gconf-peer --disable-plugin --enable-tools=no --enable-examples=no (tools and examples were disabled, because otherwise make stopped with option -o not supported ... I was using ecj for building) The Test (SocketClose.java get it from http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6278) still fails with the latest version of JamVm and classpath ... So is the bug really back again? I am not sure if I really use libgcj when building with ecj v3.3.1 (javac) and OpenJDK v1.6.0_0 (java)? cheers Gerhard
