When java is installed postgresql cannot be installed, because it needs ant, ok installed ant, then postgresql still had a problem, appearantly it also needs sax stuff, so I installed saxon, still errrors it appearantly also needs gnu_jaxp because otherwise ant doen't work.
BTW, all versions the the most current as of june 16th 2003, emerge rsync. For java that is Compaq-jdk 1.3.1 as that is the most current.
Can you please attach the output of 'emerge info'. Thanks.

Nico, I don't grok what the bug is that you're reporting. And is it still a bug?
Now that java is use-masked on alpha, and this bug is old and crufty, I'm closing it...
agreed, I think it meant that other modules were also needed but not mentioned as DEPEND/RDEPEND (like saxon) which is assumed present because it assimulated in java 1.4+ B.T.W. recently java stopped working with a SEGSEGV when doing gettimeofday Like in this strace... so it seems this the current end of life for java on alpha. kill(3747, SIGEMT) = 0 kill(3746, SIGEMT) = 0 kill(3745, SIGEMT) = 0 gettimeofday({1074122113, 355099}, NULL) = 0 kill(3747, SIGINFOSIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation si_signo [11]: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation ) = 0 kill(3746, SIGINFO) = 0 kill(3745, SIGINFO) = 0 kill(3746, SIGRT_0) = 0 --- SIGRT_1 (Unknown signal 33) @ 0 (0) --- wait4(3744, si_errno [0]: Success si_code [1]: SEGV_MAPERR [addr: 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFE3D8] sc_pc: 0x200003d3944, r26: 0x200003d3940 thread pid: 3747 stackpointer=0x20004b8c488
