Hello,

I just tried to get java 1.5 working (it worked before, but now I used the manual from http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/java/java-upgrade.xml).
Steps 1-4 worked fine, but now at step 5 java-check-environment told me to delete the old config files and remerge
Code:
emerge -atv =sun-jdk-1.4* =sun-jdk-1.5* =sun-jre-bin-1.5*
(actually blackdown-jdk was also on the list, but I don't need it anymore and it had the same problem).
But the remerge fails with the message:
Code:
Archive:  /usr/portage/distfiles/jce_policy-1_4_2.zip
   creating: jce/
  inflating: jce/local_policy.jar
  inflating: jce/US_export_policy.jar
  inflating: jce/README.txt
  inflating: jce/COPYRIGHT.html
ln: creating symbolic link `/home/tmp/portage/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12/image//usr/lib/jvm/sun-jdk-1.4' to `/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12': No such file or directory

!!! ERROR: dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12 failed.
!!! Function set_java_env, Line 117, Exitcode 1
!!! Failed to make VM symlink at /usr/lib/jvm/
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


And like I said, blackdown-jdk failed with the same error.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Regards,

Kan

That's pretty odd... Is /opt on it's own permission, and is there anything up with it...?

I will poke around to see if I can spot anything out of the ordinary.

The error suggests that /home/tmp/portage/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12/image//usr/lib/jvm/ doesn't exist, such that you can't put a symlink into a non-existant directory. dosym, which makes the symlink, should ensure that the directory exist.

What version of portage are you using? Please try with the most recent version.

Hi,

thanks, the version was 2.0.54-r2. An update seems to have solved it.
Two of the three are now completed (third running).

I'm glad that fixed the problem. I added an update that should depend on >=portage-2.1, which should prevent this for happening for others.
