[LLVMdev] VMKit assertion failure

[Konrad Hinsen]

Hi Nicolas,

It prints:

	Exception java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError while bootstraping VM

That looks like a JNI issue.

That's indeed a big one. It's the initialization of the standard  
library of a Lisp implementation.

I like them. They let me use all those nice Java libraries without  
having to program in Java :-)

Konrad.
