Greetings, I'd like to install eclipse, to experiment with it. Emerging eclipse-sdk wants to pull in a whole lot of packages which is not a bad thing except that about 12 or 15 of the emerges fail, apparently for the same reason:
* CPV: dev-java/ant-core-1.8.1 * REPO: gentoo * USE: amd64 elibc_glibc kernel_linux multilib userland_GNU !!! ERROR: Package ant-junit was not found! * Unable to determine VM for building from dependencies: NV_DEPEND: >=virtual/jdk-1.4 !dev-java/ant-tasks !dev-java/ant-optional >=dev-java/java-config-2.1.9-r1 source? ( app-arch/zip ) >=dev-java/javatoolkit-0.3.0-r2 * ERROR: dev-java/ant-core-1.8.1 failed: * Failed to determine VM for building. * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 48: Called pkg_setup * ebuild.sh, line 1346: Called java-pkg-2_pkg_setup * java-pkg-2.eclass, line 63: Called java-pkg_init * java-utils-2.eclass, line 2126: Called java-pkg_switch-vm * java-utils-2.eclass, line 2550: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Failed to determine VM for building." * * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =dev-java/ant-core-1.8.1', * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =dev-java/ant-core-1.8.1'. !!! When you file a bug report, please include the following information: GENTOO_VM= CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME="" JAVACFLAGS="" COMPILER="" and of course, the output of emerge --info I do have virtual/jdk, dev-java/sun-jdk and many other dev-java and java-virtuals packages installed and OpenOffice runs. As advised by the "Gentoo Java Packaging Guide", I've created the following symlink: HOME/.gentoo/java-config-2/current-user-vm -> /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm Where/how are variables GENTOO_VM, CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, JAVACFLAGS, and COMPILER supposed to be set ??? What else am I missing? Thanks. David
