Well, I've seen those error messages more than once. If I were half-a-bottle more sober, I'm sure I could remember how I fixed the problem. Gentoo offers two (competing?) ways to specify the system-vm. #eselect java-vm Usage: eselect java-vm Extra actions: list List Available Virtual Machines set Set a new system or user vm show Show the current vm #java-config Usage: java-config [options] -L, --list-available-vms List available Java Virtual Machines -S VM, --set-system-vm=VM Set the default Java VM for the system I seem to recall that the important things changed by these two gizmos are some symlinks like, for example: /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm -> /usr/lib/jvm//sun-jdk-1.6/ /usr/bin/java -> run-java-tool Maybe I can remember more details tomorrow.
