[gentoo-user] Problem compiling freemind

[Peter Humphrey]

Hello List,

I thought I'd have a play with a mind mapping program, so I tried to 
install freemind on this ~amd64 box. This is an excerpt from the log:

Successful completion is announced, but when I run the program from a

Can someone who knows more Java than I do see what's missing?

This may help:

NOTE: It also worked the same for me when I switched to Iced-Tea6-bin,
both stable and ~amd64.

Hmm. After switching to iced-tea I get the same compile error* but the GUI 
comes up and the program appears to work. What the hell.

What do you see with java-config -l ?

In my previous response it showed some ant stuff. Seems like that's
possibly part of the difference?

Note that I didn't look very hard for compile errors or anything else.
If you want me to let me know what to look for. I just built it and
ran it.

Cheers,
Mark

I claim no knowledge over java on Gentoo (they changed it again when I
just thought I had it figured out).

But you could try running a small sanity check for java: java-check-environment

I actually meant to try the lower case L. Mine shows some ant stuff
which I think you were having trouble with, at least in the compile
messages?

Hmm. That gave me the clue; yes, freemind was throwing an ant error 
during compilation (but that didn't prevent emerge from reporting 
success), so I recompiled all the ant* packages on the system and that's 
fixed it.

Problem now is that I asked for ant-core, ant-nodeps, ant-trax and antlr 
to be remerged, but I saw this:

$ eix -I ant
...
[U] dev-java/antlr (2.7.7@22/01/10 -> 2.7.7{tbz2} 3.1.3-r2(3)): A parser 
generator for C++, C#, Java, and Python
...

That's a puzzle, because I'd only just run an emerge --sync and -uaDv 
world, so why was antlr not upgraded then?

The upgrade of antlr pulled in a new package, stringtemplate.

Whatever was wrong, reinstalling those four packages solved my problem. 
Thanks for the hint, Mark.

Great news that it works. The rest of it is probably just one of those
mysteries that account for the rich tapestry of life.

Have fun,
