I'm using binary packages to setup my system. One of the packages I want is eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3. But during the emerge the following happens: >>> Emerging (1 of 1) dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3 to / >>> Extracting info !!! ERROR: Couldn't find suitable VM. Possible invalid dependency string. * Unable to determine VM for building from dependencies: NV_DEPEND: =virtual/jdk-1.4* VNEED: * * ERROR: dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup * environment, line 4031: Called java-pkg-2_pkg_setup * environment, line 2368: Called java-pkg_init * environment, line 3057: Called java-pkg_switch-vm * environment, line 3537: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Failed to determine VM for building."; * The die message: * Failed to determine VM for building. * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.2.1-r3/temp/environment'. * !!!

Indeed, there is no package installed to fulfill =virtual/jdk-1.4*, although it is present in the DEPEND variable in the ebuild. Shouldn't =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.18 be installed then before emerge eclipse-sdk is attempted? # emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (!/usr/portage/local/autodistro-overlay/profiles/autodistro, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 i686 unknown Timestamp of tree: Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:45:04 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r7 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="buildpkg distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://10.11.11.74/AutoDistro/ADS-Help/" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/autodistro-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi alsa berkdb bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 isdnlog jpeg kde kerberos ldap libnotify mad midi mikmod mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vorbis win32codecs x86 xml xorg xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint i810 mach64 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Always Workaround: If I emerge -g sun-jdk-1.4 manually first, I can emerge -g eclipse-sdk without any problem.

Created attachment 174641 [details, diff] skip Java 1.4 check when emerging a binary package This is the patch I'm using. Dunno if it's the right way to go about it, but it works for me.
Closing this (3.2 not supported anymore).
