from my understanding of the "any of many" RDEPEND="|| ..." syntax, it should do what you expect and not pull in icedtea. However I remember that sun-jdk requires a license acceptance which has changed recently, so maybe sun-jdk is now masked on your system, hence the need for something else. What is the complete emerge output? Look for any masked or license restricted packages. I added this to /etc/portage/package.license: dev-java/sun-jdk dlj-1.1 HTH, -- Iain Buchanan <iaindb at netspace dot net dot au> What does "it" mean in the sentence "What time is it?"?
