Er, then unmerge java-config and try again. Apparently the older version blocks the newer (or vice versa)...
(In reply to comment #1) > unmerge java-config and try again Why didn't I think of that?... I guess I thought that java-config wasn't installed on the system because of the "N" flag. Had to read the manual again about slots... Thanks.
