Seems like blackdown fails to integrate with java-config and doesn't set paths correctly: * dev-java/blackdown-jre Latest version available: 1.4.2.03 Latest version installed: 1.4.2.03 ~ # java-config -l ~ # ~ # java-config -o /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03 ~ # ~ # java-config -L [blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03] "Blackdown JRE 1.4.2.03" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03) * ~ # java-config -S blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03 javac not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/bin/javac or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/jre/bin/javac javadoc not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/bin/javadoc or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/jre/bin/javadoc jar not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/bin/jar or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/jre/bin/jar rmic not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/bin/rmic or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.03/jre/bin/rmic THIS SYSTEM VM IS NOT SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED BINARIES WERE NOT FOUND System Virtual Machine set You may want to update your enviroment by running: "/usr/sbin/env-update && source /etc/profile" ----------- Portage 2.1_pre7-r3 (!/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.5, glibc-2.3.5-r3, 2.6.11 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.11 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 distcc 1.2.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocol 1) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig buildpkg ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.gentoo.mesh-solutions.com/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.nyx.hu/gentoo http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.sh.cvut.cz/MIRRORS/gentoo/gentoo http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/home/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync12.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 X apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts crypt curl dri eds emboss foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gstreamer hardened imlib ipv6 isdnlog jpeg libg++ libwww motif mozilla mp3 mysql ncurses nls ogg pam parse-clocks pdflib perl pic png ppds pppd python readline sdl spell sqlite ssl tcltk tcpd truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wxwindows xml2 zlib elibc_glibc kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
take a closer look at this: THIS SYSTEM VM IS NOT SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED BINARIES WERE NOT FOUND system vm must be JDK so it can build from java sources, you are trying to register JRE which doesn't contain javac compiler...
As Caster pointed out, the problem is that you're setting a JRE to the system VM. The system VM is used to build Java packages, so you generally need a JDK (ie blackdown-jdk) set as the system if you plan on building Java packages, So at most, maybe the warnings could be more succint. But beyond that, I see no problem.
Hmmm. net-p2p/freenet failed to start - now it finds the java executable. This is quite confusing, it doesn't work after install (I tried env-update && source /etc/profile), only after logging in again does it work now. The error messages are quite misleading, but as it works now I'll close the bug.
