I only know the app I'm trying to build needs the Xerces stuff. Anyway, when trying to emerge xerces-2.3.0-r1 I get the following errors before it bombs out. I poked around in /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1 but didn't see a compile log. compile: [copy] Copying 8 files to /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/classes [xjavac] Compiling 603 source files to /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/classes [xjavac] /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/src/org/apache/xerces/impl/xpath/regex/RegularExpression.java:138: illegal unicode escape [xjavac] * <kbd>\u005cu</kbd><var>c</var>, <kbd>\L</kbd>, <kbd>\U</kbd>, [xjavac] ^ [xjavac] /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/src/org/apache/xerces/impl/xpath/regex/RegularExpression.java:183: illegal unicode escape [xjavac] * <dt class="REGEX"><kbd>\u005cu</kbd><var>HHHH</var> [xjavac] ^ [xjavac] /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/src/org/apache/xerces/impl/xpath/regex/RegularExpression.java:207: illegal unicode escape [xjavac] * <li class="REGEX">A character (including <Kbd>\e \f \n \r \t</kbd> <kbd>\u005cx</kbd><var>HH</var> <kbd>\u005cx{</kbd><var>HHHH</var><kbd>}</kbd> <!--kbd>\u005cu</kbd><var>HHHH</var--> <kbd>\u005cv</kbd><var>HHHHHH</var>) [xjavac] ^ [xjavac] /var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build/src/org/apache/xerces/impl/xpath/regex/RegularExpression.java:500: illegal unicode escape [xjavac] * <!-- | '\u005cu' hex-char hex-char hex-char hex-char [xjavac] ^ [xjavac] 4 errors BUILD FAILED file:/var/tmp/portage/xerces-2.3.0-r1/work/xerces-2_3_0/build.xml:233: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.
