Yes, I agree. My main point was that I was a bit surprised when the command that was actually recommended by a Gentoo security announcement didn't work. I think it should. Yes, it did work if I put "-java" in my USE variable, but the security announcement didn't say anything about that. > The other thing you can do is emerge the Java SDK 1.4.1 from Sun. Again -- if this (or another JDK-alike) is required, it would seem natural to me if Portage installed it automatically. Isn't this some of the point of using Portage in the first place? Simply getting an error message about the PHP ./configure file seems like a bug to me... But I'm quite open to the possibility that I'm wrong in this respect.

Perhaps adding a dependency to the correct version of Java in the ebuild-script (barring "-java" in USE, of course) might be useful? Just a thought... (BTW: I only use mod_php anyway, and that works fine; and I don't even know anything about the link between PHP and Java... :) -- Magnus Lie Hetland "Nothing shocks me.
