The java and javac binaries that come with the compaq-jdk-1.3.1 give the below error message when you attempt to execute them. I believe that the problem is that my version of glibc is significanly newer than the one used by compaq to build the binaries. Possible solutions include updating the ebuild so that it blocks when attempting to install with a recent version of glibc or try to get binaries compiled against a newer glibc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. javac test.java 1. java test Actual Results: Can't load library "/opt/compaq-jdk-1.3.1/jre/lib/alpha/libjava.so", because /opt/compaq-jdk-1.3.1/jre/lib/alpha/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6.1 with link time reference Could not create the Java virtual machine. Expected Results: It should have compiled test.java to produce test.class.

A workaround was posted to the gentoo-alpha mailing list which seems to work, but it was never integrated into Gentoo itself. See: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=gentoo-alpha&m=112103704626260&w=2
The fix worked. Thank you!
The ebuild itself should be fixed so reopening.
Created attachment 73161 [details] compaq-jdk ebuild with libcwait workaround for new glibc versions I've tested the ebuild on my system (emerge info above) and it solves the undefined symbol problem. I haven't modified a lot of ebuilds, so any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

The work around doesn't fix all of the problems with compaq-jdk. compaq-{jre,jdk} were masked by YosWinK on 7 July 2006 and the alpha team is in agreement that both will be booted from the tree in the near future. Closing WONTFIX.
