Problem with sun-jdk (1.4.0-r6)

I have installed the blackdown jdk and the IBM jdk without any problems, but I get the following error when I try and use the Sun jdk:

Error: failed /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I just installed gentoo 1.4 rc1. I didn't have this problem with gentoo 1.2.

This sounds like a library naming problem or something, but I don't know how to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

Could this be related to the fact that gentoo 1.4 rc1 uses gcc3.2, whereas none of the JDK providers have yet shipped a JDK compiled with gcc3.2. Isn't there somewhere where you can vote on this so that Sun/IBM/Blackdown will start shipping gcc3 compiled JDK?

Then again I could be wrong about my assumption above.

For myself, I needed java plugin support in mozilla/galeon and the only way to get that in my current environment (gcc3.2) was to compile a JDK with gcc3.2. Take a look at http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/javafromscratch.txt (mirror http://hints.se.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/javafromscratch.txt) on how to compile a JDK with gcc3.2.

Yeah, I figured it had something to do with gcc3.2. What puzzled me though is that IBM's jdk seems to work without problem and it isn't built from source. I can understand how the blackdown jdk works since it is build from source.

Thanks for the link to java from scratch, I didn't know that was an option. I'll give that one a shot.

The java from scratch link was all I needed. I didn't really want or need to build the thing from scratch, I just had to copy the old libstdc library to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386 and my Sun JDK works just fine now. Thanks again for that link!!!
