Yes, it looks like you need another version of jasmin; the mine is this:

$ jasmin -version
Jasmin version: v2.2

I think you can download it from here:
http://jasmin.sourceforge.net/

I honestly don't know what "sable" means in you version string.

Ah, good point, thanks; I suppose I could update the docs to explain how 
to install everything needed and how to translate pypy-jvm.

Anyway, after the compilation you can find your pypy-jvm.jar inside the 
translator/goal directory; to run it simply type:

$ java -jar pypy-jvm.jar

Together with the jar file we create also a script called pypy-jvm that 
invokes java -jar, so if you are on unix you can also type:

$ ./pypy-jvm
