Thanks, but I don’t know if that would address the issue I was having. In this particular case, installing Apple’s latest Java didn’t satisfy the requirement for system-java16-dev. That tells me that either the detection in system-java16-dev is busted, or Apple’s Java is broken in a way that makes it unable to fulfill that need. If it is the latter case, it would be helpful if the instructions on 10.10 were updated to specify Oracle’s Java is needed.
