problem in kaffe jit code debugging using gdb

[Veeral Shah]

hello,

   Nature Of Problem :  Unable to debug Kaffe JIt with gdb/jdb..


    As suggested I re configured kaffe with below command


bash>./configure  --enable-debug --without-x
--prefix=/sarva/me/98/csashah/kaffe --enable-ltdl       -convenience
--with-engine=jit --with-timing
bash>./gmake
bash>./gmake install

1)
  my BUILD_ENVIRONMENT file has following settings .I always source
BUILD_ENVIRONMENT file..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH-.}':'/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/javalib/Klasses.jar':'/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/javalib/pizza.jar;
export CLASSPATH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KAFFELIBRARYPATH=${KAFFELIBRARYPATH+"$KAFFELIBRARYPATH"':'}/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/native:/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/net:/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/io:/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/zip:/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/math:/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/libraries/clib/management;
 export KAFFELIBRARYPATH
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JAVA=/sarva/me/98/csashah/caffe/kaffe-1.0b4/kaffe/kaffe/Kaffe; export
JAVA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KAFFE_DEBUG=gdb;export KAFFE_DEBUG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I then tried to run gdb but it says that (my .gdbinit also is set ..)
"/sarva/me/98/csashah/kaffe/bin/Kaffe": not in executable format: File
format not recognized

-  Then i tried to run jdb ..It didnt crib like above but says Kaffe
could not be initialised 
   It dumps like below ..And with the following error ..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(gdb) run
    /sarva/me/98/csashah/kaffe/libexec/Kaffe sun.tools.ttydebug.TTY
Kaffe Str

Could not initialize Kaffe.

It's likely that your CLASSPATH settings are wrong.  Please make sure
your CLASSPATH does not include any java.lang.* classes from other JVM
vendors, such as Sun's classes.zip, BEFORE Kaffe's Klasses.jar.
It is okay to have classes.zip AFTER Klasses.jar

The current effective classpath is
`.:/usr/pubpkg/java/jdk1.1.1/lib/classes.zip'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My classpath settings on echo $CLASSPATH shows no classes.zip library 
from Sun...

Can any one tell me what is going wrong ..

   Any feedback would be  a great help....

Thanks in Advance
Regards
Veeral
