Hi, Is a Java JDK a necessity? I currently have none of the Blackdown stuff installed and am using sun-jre-bin as it solves a problem with some drop down menus. However, when I emerge sun-jre-bin I get a set of messages that aren't comforting:
--- !targe sym /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/lib/i386/client/libjsig.so --- !targe sym /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/javaws/javaws >>> original instance of package unmerged safely. * Found no JDK, setting sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06 as default system VM javac not found at /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/bin/javac or /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/javac javadoc not found at /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/bin/javadoc or /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/javadoc jar not found at /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/bin/jar or /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/jar rmic not found at /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/bin/rmic or /opt/sun-jre-bin-1.5.0.06/jre/bin/rmic THIS SYSTEM VM IS NOT SUFFICIENT, REQUIRED BINARIES WERE NOT FOUND System Virtual Machine set You may want to update your enviroment by running: "/usr/sbin/env-update && source /etc/profile" >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... I get the same messages if I install only the blackdown-jre without the blackdown-jdk. Am I supposed to be installing something else to make the sun-jre work? (Since the blackdown-jre dowsn't work...)
