• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Charles Becker 2004-01-03 15:05:00 UTC]

checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no
creating libtool
checking SOSUFFIX from libtool... so
checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed
 config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 67, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)


-----------------
from config.log

configure:8781: result: so
configure:8943: checking if javac works
configure:8957: javac  Test.java
Error: failed /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge db
2.
3.




As I understand it the libary libstdc++.so.5 that it is looking for is part of
gcc. Possibly a different version that I have?? I have 2.95.3-r8. At any rate
because of this I can not update my system.

what if you emerge lib-compat ?

Yes, with this version of blackdown you need to have >gcc-3 preferably 3.2 or later. Another option is to use the sun jdk's (they don't depend on gcc directly, except for the mozilla plugin) or an older blackdown jdk that was built with gcc-2.95.3

In any case you probably will not be using java in sys-libs/db anyway, as there are no portage packages actually using this. (so it's only nice for development). You can merge db with "USE=-java emerge \<sys-libs/db-4.1"

upgrade or use a diffrend jdk or reopen with more info
