Hello, In trying to install the java package under Mac OS X 10.6.8 I was seeing "Java Development Kit not found" during configuration and make was returning "Java support not compiled". I tried with Octave 3.4.0 MacOS X binary and Octave 3.6.1 built from source. I also tried an earlier version (1.2.7) of the java package. The result was the same in all cases.
Searching this list led to the java package configuration file. The problem for me was that there's an OS X section in the configure script that sets all Java-required parameters but that doesn't get run if JAVA_HOME environment variable is present, as in my case. The attached patch to the java package configure script adds support for the case where JAVA_HOME is set in OS X. Note, in testing install with Octave 3.4.0 MacOS X binary, I had to configure and install the package outside of Octave. If I tried "pkg install" on a gzipped tarball of the patched package, I got a seg fault when I tried to use the package. The problem seems to be that, when installing in Octave, CXXFLAGS is being set to simply "-arch i386", which overrides the defaults returned by mkoctfile that include a number of additional flags. This wasn't an issue with Octave 3.6.1 built from source, where I was able to "pkg install" the patched package from within Octave. Steve
