The shell script that runs the jing package uses java-config to build the classpath. It looks for the java packages xerces and saxon, but (at least on my system) these packages seem not to exist. Thus, the script gives the following error: <screen> $ jing Could not find package xerces Could not find package saxon Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /usr/share/jing/lib/jing/jar </screen> Instead, there exist packages called xerces-2 and saxon-bin, and rewriting the command to reference these package names works. The old 'jing' script is as follows: <script filename="/usr/bin/jing"> #!/bin/sh exec `java-config --java` -classpath `java-config -p xerces,saxon` -jar `java-config -p jing` "$@" </script> The following script runs correctly: <script> #!/bin/sh exec `java-config --java` -classpath `java-config -p xerces-2,saxon-bin` -jar `java-config -p jing` "$@" </script> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge jing and any dependencies 2. run `jing` Actual Results: The above steps produce the following failure output: Could not find package xerces Could not find package saxon Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /usr/share/jing/lib/jing/jar Expected Results: The software should have instead referenced the correct package names and run jing.
