The blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 ebuild fails to properly identify the correct gcc version and defaults to gcc-3.2.bin. My system does not have 3.2. gentoo jwarner # gcc-config -c i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.95.3 gentoo jwarner # gcc -dumpversion 2.95.3 It looks like bug 21626 was submitted for this same problem though I don't understand why the resolution is resolved and the status is won't fix. I would think there are plenty of systems still running gcc-2.95. There are some postings in the forums about this bug causing problems for gettext among other packages. This issue was causing problems for the getttext ebuild and would give me an error like /usr/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 when I tried to do a java -version command. To resolve I edited the blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 ebuild like so: #if [ "`gcc -dumpversion | cut -f1 -d.`" -eq "3" -a "`gcc -dumpversion | cut -f2 -d.`" -ge "2" ] ; then # SRC_URI="x86? ( ${J_URI}/i386/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin ) # amd64? ( ${J_URI}/i386/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin )" #else SRC_URI="x86? ( ${J_URI}/i386/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-i586-gcc2.95.bin )" #fi #SRC_URI="${SRC_URI} sparc? ( ${J_URI}/sparc/${JREV}/j2sdk-${PV}-${JREV}-linux-sparc-gcc3.2.bin )" This forced the blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 ebuild to use the proper file (gcc-2.95). This also enable me to successfully compile gettext. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with Gentoo system with gcc version 2.95 2. Emerge blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 3. Do a java -version or try and compile gettext and you will see something to the effect of: /usr/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. Actual Results: /usr/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 Expected Results: gentoo jwarner # java - version java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build Blackdown-1.4.1-01, mixed mode) or >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... * Caching service dependencies...
