I installed jikes from the source after I untarred it:

tar -xvzf jikes*.tar.gz
enter directory created:
./configure
make
make install

When I go to run jikes: jikes test.java
I get a Segmentation fault and I am not sure where to start looking for the fix.

I don't know what this means, but in the .bash_profile I had to add the directory to help jikes find java/lang because it told me to, but the directory tree includes a directory 2.1.6 and it turns purple in vi. Is this a problem.

Answer all questions that are pertinent.

Thanks for the help.
