Error on emerge sys-libs/db-4.0.14-r2 (Where's the $PATH)

I am trying to emerge --update world and can't get past this package. The error I am getting is "no acceptable jar program found in $PATH"

How do I add an acceptable jar program to $PATH?
Which jar program is acceptable?

I've found the $PATH min currently reads

Code: Select all

/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/bin

is blackdown-jre-1.4.1 not an acceptable jar program?

Not sure of you error, but I have had numerous problems with java apps not liking blackdown.

i've been using suns jdk and its been fine for a while now.

I installed sun-jdk-1.4.2.01 now my error has changed to
"checking if javac works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)"

my CLASSPATH reads
/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.01/jre/lib:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.01/lib/tools.jar:/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.01/jre/lib/rt.jar:.

where have I gone wrong

What does the log say? What package are you installing?

nobspangle · Post by **nobspangle** » Fri Oct 31, 2003 5:12 pm

configure:8943: checking if javac works
configure:8957: javac Test.java
configure:8960: $? = 1
configure:8964: error: The Java compiler javac failed (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)

seems to be the part in question the package I am compiling is at the top of the thread

I might try a different java compiler

Switched back to the blackdown java now it works I think what I have done is switched to the JDK from the JRE don't know why the sun one wouldn't work

Try:

Code: Select all

java-config --set-system-vm=/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1

if Blackdown JDK is installed

Code: Select all

java-config --set-system-vm=/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.01

if Sun JDK is installed.

NB: JRE is runtime environment, and JDK is the development kit.

Did you install via emerge?
