Description Michael Jinks 2009-03-07 05:02:39 UTC

I started out with sun-jdk-1.6 installed, and the goal of setting up Tomcat from a collection of prebuilt binaries.

While performing a binary emerge of commons-dbcp, for example,

  # emerge -vK dev-java/commons-dbcp

...the install will begin and fail, with:

   *   java-pkg_switch-vm 3367 0 Failed to determine VM for building.

Struck me as odd since this is a binary package.  I eventually figured out that if I did,

  # emerge -pv commons-dbcp

...then Portage would list 'dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.16' as a dependency, but for some reason it doesn't during a binary emerge.  After manually installing sun-jdk-1.5, binary emerge of commons-dbcp runs fine.

Should jdk-1.5 be listed as a runtime dep as well as build-time?  Or is there another way around this?

Reproducible: Always
