I ran into similar problems today, after a slew of successful and problem-free updates since upgrading to 10.10 -- suddenly I started getting the "missing system-java61-dev" messages. So I went to Oracle (as instructed) and installed their jdk-8u25-maxosx-x64.dmg without a hitch. But this seems to have no effect; #fink apropos java does show that 1.8 is now the current version, and system-java81-dev & system-java71-dev do show as installed, but still not system-java61-dev. <sigh> Restarting Yosemite didn't help either. </sigh> Cheers -- Jess ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
