I think slink used libc5 which is incompatible with libc6. You would
need the libc5 backwards-compatibility package.
Why is it that kaffe didn't work for you? You might be able to get the
jdk for potato from the blackdown people. I have heard that IBM's jvm
is really good. jikes is a a good and fast compiler -- I use it at
work.
