sun-j2sdk 1.4.1-r1 linking vm = HUGE bomb

problem:

trying to emerge of the latest sun-j2sdk bombs, and it brings down the active login session: it takes down X if i'm using it, and if i try a standard tty, it kills that login session. weird thing is, it doesn't bother any inactive login sessions (a new X server on a different display, a differnt tty, etc. etc..)

looking over my logs of the emerge attempts, it's bombing when it's trying to link the vm... extremely weird.

i successfully emerged the same version w/o the r1 patches (1.4.1) on this same box awhile ago w/o any changes in hardware since... software-wise, i've been dutifully emerging new stuff weekly...

here's the possibly relevant systeminfo:

p3 550
256mb ram
intel 440bx chipset (abit mobo)
# java-config --list-available-vms
[sun-j2sdk-1.4.1] Sun JDK 1.4.1 (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-j2sdk-1.4.1) ()
[sun-jdk-1.4.1.02] Sun JDK 1.4.1.02 (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.1.02) (*)

i don't get it... i'm great w/ gdb, but i don't know how to resolve linker issues...

ok.... i'm taking this into my own hands... sigh..

i'm taking stabs in the dark, but i'm gonna try recompiling glibc and binutils. i don't think i've done this since my gcc upgrade.. sigh... so my system is sorta in a quasi-gentoo1.2-1.4 state...

heh...

i'm having a lot of hope for this. results will be posted either way.

welllll... the recompile of binutils and glibc didn't help...

i've installed gentoo-sources 2.4.20 r5 and am in the process of trying this route (i've been in ck6 kernel)...

no one else have this problem at all????? sigh...

i have Gentoo-sources installed on a Pent 1 (relevant as it means I am in i586 county) and when I emerge sun-jsdk it tells me I need to download

jsdk-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin

which file is NOT on the URL mentioned. There is a

j2sdk-1_4_1_02-s1studio_ce-4u1-bin-linux.bin

and after some pawing about I found

jsdk-1_4_1_03-linux-i586.bin

but the 03 does not do me any good with emerge as it is not the expected file.

Did SUN find a problem with 02 and replace it with 03? Should I enter a bug on this?

you're looking for *.zip files, not the bin files... the bin type files are precompiled java vm's...

the *.zip files are source that gets compiled on your machine.

got a URL for them? I cond not find feils by any other similar name .. and i copied the file name from the comment in the emerge output. Pretty sure I got that correct.

just checked the emerge .. the message says to get a .bin file, and only j2sdk-1_4_1_03-linux-i586.bin is on the site .. that I can find anyway
