After having problems getting packages i saw i needed to set some things in the JAVA_HOME but while trying to set the javac compiler i get the error: jc_options: javac not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/bin/javac or opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/javac when i do a locate for my javac i get this: george@frederika % locate javac /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/bin/javac /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/man/man1/javac.1.gz /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/man/ja_JP.eucJP/man1/javac.1.gz It seems to only be looking for the runtime environment compiler not the development kit compiler the results from previously trying to set the other options were: frederika# java-config -S blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01 javac not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/bin/javac or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/javac javadoc not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/bin/javadoc or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/javadoc jar not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/bin/jar or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/jar rmic not found at /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/bin/rmic or /opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.2.01/jre/bin/rmic THIS SYSTEM VM IS NOT SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED BINARIES WERE NOT FOUND Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.java-config -c 2. 3.

sorry about the weird emerge info, should have had the term open fully...
try java-config -L java-config -S blackdown-jdk only jdk's have javac not jre's
as thomas pointed out, you have to use java-config blackdown-jdk with a jdk, not with a jre. also see: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/java.xml
