jedit and gcc3?

Hi. I'm having trouble getting jedit to compile with my Gentoo 1.3b system. I've been looking around and it seems that gcc3.1 and java don't get along well? Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone has had similiar troubles compiling jedit with gcc3.1. This is the error I get:

i dont know bout anyone else, but my java works perfect on my 1.3b installation. i use mostely sun-jdk-1.4.0

what problems have people encountered, i think the java binaries would be statically linked to endsure maximum compatibility...

I get the exact same problem with jedit here too. And I'm using gentoo v1.3b.

And I really would like to get jedit working...

Yeah I still haven't figured out the problem. re-emerge'd blackdown, jikes, tried sun jdk. Just can't pinpoint what's wrong. I just downloaded the java installer from jedit's site and installed it that way. Wish I could get it to compile, though. Just have to sit tight and see if anyone else has some ideas.

Okay it appears that this problem is not exclusive to gcc3. My roommate just installed gentoo 1.2 on his desktop and he was also unable to emerge jedit 4.0.3-r1 -- his emerge failed the same way mine did. His setup is rather different too, which is strange. Even stranger is that jedit 4.0 ebuild also fails the exact same way. So it's not just a problem with the ebuild file for 4.0.3-r1 I guess.

Ok, nice to know one isn't alone at least...

I also tried to switch java environment to Suns jdk 1.4 but didn't work...So I also installed with the java installer.
Would be nice to be able to do an emerge but at least I have Jedit running...

wondering, isnt jedit a java only editor ?
then I dont see why the gcc version should make any difference :)

well, at the time i had just upgraded to gentoo 1.3b from 1.2, and jedit stopped working. so i figured that gcc3 may have indirectly caused problems for jedit through compiling jikes or ant or something strange like that; however, that's not the case since my roommate is having the same problems with gentoo 1.2, whereas a few days ago neither of us had problems getting it to work.

so initially that's why the thread title was named so. it's sorta misleading now because gcc3 has more or less been ruled out as the culprit.

just a thought on that error..looks like a classpath problem to me..

try this:

hrm that was a good idea, but it didn't work. i tried both:

looking more carefully at that error, it looks as if it cannot find the classes for "ant" which jedit depends on...try (re-)emerging that

unfortunately that was one of the first things i tried, since ant was the only thing i recognized clearly in that error. could it be something to do with JRE/JDK conflicts? my JAVA_HOME is set to /opt/blackdown-jre-1.3.1 ... i tried changing it to /opt/blackdown-jdk-1.3.1 but it wouldn't stick, so i'm not sure if it failed with that as the java home too or if it wasn't changed in the first place. changes to /etc/profile.env didn't stick either. I wonder if it needs to be jdk in order to compile jedit. i haven't messed with sun jdk yet.

GCC3 to Portage & Programming, on the slim justification that jedit sounds like a programming editor and there's CLASSPATH stuff in here. A case could be made for OTG.
