You are right, I guess the software could not work with jre 1.5. I
replaced my JRE 1.6 with JRE 1.5, but still hit a problem (could be a
different one)

In fact I always got a feeling with gentoo I often emerge and pray...

Try masking virtual/jre-1.6

Also, it might be worth checking if the jdictrayapi has be included in
the Java 6 jdk, which would account for the block.
