After emerging blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01, I tried to emerge sys-libs/db-4.1.25_p1-r4; emerge failed with the following error: checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics...

I suspected the new blackdown-jdk was the problem due to the inability of portage to find javac. Indeed, if I downgrade back to blackdown-jdk-1.4.1, then the emerge of sys-libs/db finishes with no error: # java-config -S blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 # env-update && source /etc/profile After these steps, sys-libs/db emerges without problems.

It appears to be a problem with blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01. I solved the problem by setting the system VM to the old blackdown-jdk-1.4.1, and db emerged normally.

hmm, can't reproduce it on x86. i just merged 4.1.25_p1-r4 using blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01. worked fine.
Since we cannot reproduce it, can you help us out by downloading the (or just unpacking your previously downloaded) blackdown-jdk afresh, _not_ using Portage? I want to see if this is the result of us doing something strange inside our ebuild to it. If the problem persists even when you don't use our ebuild, the problem is most likely not with our ebuild, but either an upstream bug, or some weird feature of your system. If this turns out to be tracable back to the blackdown-jdk ebuild, we can fix it. If not, it's probably out of our hands. I advise you to stop by #gentoo-java on irc.freenode.net to get some interactive lovin' and perhaps come up with a useful workaround for you. I'm closing this as WORKSFORME, as neither of us are able to reproduce it. Please reopen if you catch the scent of something.
i have been beating my head against the wall with this exact same problem for about a week: After emerging blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01, I tried to emerge sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2; emerge failed with the following error: ... checking whehter stripping libaries is possible ... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so checking SOSSUFFIX from libtool... .so checking MODSUFFIX from libtool... .so checking JMODSUFFIX from libtool... .so checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?) !!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 99, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support... there are currently two open threads about this problem at Gentoo Forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=270480 http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=271620
Created attachment 47032 [details] /etc/make.conf
Created attachment 47033 [details] emerge config
It appears to be a problem with the VM blackdown code itself. I downloaded j2re-1.4.2-01-linux-i586.bin and installed it manually (i.e. no portage) into a temporary location. If I add the j2re1.4.2/bin directory it created to the path and then run java it also crashes: linux% ./j2re1.4.2/bin/java -version Segmentation fault I can get it to work (or at least print a version) if I switch to the server VM: linux% ./j2re1.4.2/bin/java -server -version java version "1.4.2-01" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.2-01) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build Blackdown-1.4.2-01, mixed mode) (I see the same behavior with the emerged blackdown-jdk).
As an additional test I just emerged the sun-jdk (1.4.2.06) and this also fails. linux% which java /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.06/bin/java linux% java Segmentation fault linux% java-config --list-available-vm [sun-jdk-1.4.2.06] "Sun JDK 1.4.2.06" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.06) * [blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.01" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01)
I am seeing the samething. Any chance of getting this bug re-opened? In my case I bootstrapped the system and did the initial emerge -e system with USE="-java" then changed the flag to USE="java" emerge --newuse -u system causeing db to fail with checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)
