when I emerge -u libidn then I get the following error: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking libidn-0.5.13.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/libidn-0.5.13/work >>> Source unpacked. * You need to use java-config to set your JVM to a JDK! !!!

is that all the output java-config -L gives you? it depends on a jdk, portage should have tried to merge one Do you realy have no jdk installed? You really need a jdk as a system-vm to merge java apps java-config will complain loudly if you set a jre
Why do I need a java-jdk. Is a java jre not sufficient. I had the blackberry jdk in package provided. I changed that. It worked. The Bug can be closed.
