Bug 95828 – sys-libs/db-4.2.53_p2 emerge fails because "The Java compiler javac failed"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description A. Person 2005-06-11 20:35:47 UTC]

When trying to emerge sys-libs/db-4.2.53_p2 as a dependency, it fails like:

checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see
config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

There is no config.log on my system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sys-libs/db (basically)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see
config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

Expected Results:  
emerged db

Reopen...

The config.log file should be found in
/var/tmp/portage/db-4.2.53_p2/work/db-4.2.53/config.log

Could you try to find it and attach it to the bug? Without it it is almost
impossible to find the cause of javac not working, allthough hardened might be a
contributing factor.

Can't even remember submitting this.
