Debian wheezy has a huge number of different java choices so I thought I should briefly document the particular choices I made which lead to the error below.
I installed the gcj-4.7-jdk package which seemed to suck in everything else that is needed via the large number of package dependencies for that package. However, CMake needs help finding the peculiar location of the headers and libraries that this package uses. So before running cmake in an initially empty build tree I had to set the following environment variables: export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.7/include export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcj-4.7-13 After that, running cmake seemed to work fine to find all java components, and the java bindings were built without any obvious issues. However, when trying to compile the examples, I ran into the following peculiar error: software@raven> make x01j [ 0%] Built target plhershey-unicode-gen [ 0%] Built target plhershey-unicode.h_built [ 0%] Built target csirocsa [ 13%] Built target csironn [ 13%] Built target deltaT-gen [ 17%] Built target deltaT.h_built [ 17%] Built target tai-utc-gen [ 21%] Built target tai-utc.h_built [ 26%] Built target qsastime [ 78%] Built target plplotd [ 78%] Built target plplotjavac_wrap [ 95%] Built target plplot_core Scanning dependencies of target x01j [100%] Generating plplot/examples/x01.class gcj-4.7: error: utf8: No such file or directory and similarly for any of our other Java examples. @Andrew: I believe you have had success with Java on Debian unstable. What do you do that is different from what I did above? Can you also confirm the above issue on Debian unstable for the Java package selection (gcj-4.7-jdk) that I made? Is there something else I should install as well to get that to work? When I did a google search for the above error message there were only a few hits, but they appeared to be quite significant because they were associated with Debian package builds which also appear to be running into this same gcj error. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me with this error. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
