Description David Bruha 2006-02-01 12:26:11 UTC
checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p4 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1894:   Called dyn_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 941:   Called src_compile

java-config -L
[sun-jdk-1.4.2.10] "Sun JDK 1.4.2.10" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10)
[sun-jdk-1.5.0.06] "Sun JDK 1.5.0.06" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.5.0.06) *

I know this has been discussed here before with other configurations. The problem is I can emerge the db package without a problem when I set the java environment to sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 but not with sun-jdk-1.5.0.06.

We are working with java both at school and at work and I need to use the 1.5 version. Of course I could make the system wide setting sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 and for my user set the sun-jdk-1.5.0.06 environment but that's not the point - it would be only a workaround.

Btw - there is no config log in /var/tmp/portage/db-4.2.52_p4/work/db-4.2.52/. :(

Don't use Java 1.5 as your system VM, it's package.masked for a reason...
