Lightzone (installed as per the instructions for gentoo given in http://lightzoneproject.org/lorum/install-lightzone-gentoo)
worked just fine with gcc-4.9.4 and icedtea-7 or icedtea-bin-7.

However since I upgrade to gcc-5.4 it fails with the error

Code:
ightzone
Starting LightZone version 4.1.7 ...
with options :
openjdk version "1.8.0_101"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 3.1.0) (Gentoo icedtea-3.1.0)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
jh.jar was not found.
This is LightZone 4.1.7 (79fa0e3)

        ... 5 more             

In particular note the error

Code:
jh.jar not found


despite the fact that copies of it exist at
Quote:
/usr/local/LightZone/jh.jar
and
Quote:
/usr/share/javahelp/lib/jh.jar


Any suggestions on how I can fix this other than reverting to gcc-4.9.4? Is there a known problem with icedtea under gcc-5.4?

PS This is the only problem that I have encountered with my upgrade to gcc-5.4. Icedtea and lightzone do build with gcc-5.4

This appears to have nothing to do with gcc-5.4.

I did revert to gcc-4.9.3 by using a backup. At this point lightzone worked again.

However I then tested by recompiling lightzone using gcc-4.9.3. The problem mentioned above with lightzone not running reappeared,
so I reinstalled the previous backup to get it running again. I have now added lightzone to /etc/portage/packages.mask
to keep it from being compiled again.

I don't know what the cause of the problem is, but I advise that if you have a working lightzone don't recompile it.
