Hi! It really intrigued me when Mark said that Sockets work for him with development [1] version of SableVM (which uses latest GNU Classpath).
After doing some tests and many compilations I figured out that the error doesn't show up on my Intel machine but does on Sparc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/sablebot$ ../usr/bin/sablevm -Y sb java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument at gnu.java.net.PlainSocketImpl.getOption (PlainSocketImpl.java) at gnu.java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect (PlainSocketImpl.java:216) at java.net.Socket.connect (Socket.java:402) at java.net.Socket.connect (Socket.java:366) at java.net.Socket.Socket (Socket.java:292) at java.net.Socket.Socket (Socket.java:149) at sb.main (sb.java:9) at java.lang.VirtualMachine.invokeMain (VirtualMachine.java) at java.lang.VirtualMachine.main (VirtualMachine.java:88) The code of sb.java is simply this: import java.net.*; public class sb { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { java.net.Socket socket = new java.net.Socket("irc.sablevm.org", 6667); System.out.println(socket); } } I have no time now to track it further. I belive that it's probably a problem in Classpath but Cc:ing SableVM-devel just in case. HTH Grzegorz B. Prokopski [1] http://devel.sablevm.org -- Grzegorz B.
