[Java-gnome-developer] problem installing the bindings

[manyoso <ma...@ya...>]

I am having a hell of a time installing the Java-Gnome bindings.  I am
running a RedHat 7.0 system with Ximian Gnome 1.4 beta (from the
red-carpet channel ;) and I have three different JDK's installed.
IBM1.3 and Kaffe (from the rpm) and Sun's JDK1.3

Here is my $PATH:

    /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/manyoso/bin: No
    such file or directory

The Kaffe tools are installed in /usr/bin and the IBM and SUN JDK's are
installed in /usr/java/IBMJava2-13 and /usr/java/jdk1.3 respectively.  I
did not have the JAVA_HOME variable set nor the CLASSPATH.  I downloaded
the src.rpm and installed.  Then i took the tar file and put it in my
home directory.

I untarred java-gnome into my home directory and cd into that directory.
Then I ran ./configure --libdir=/usr/lib as the INSTALL file said.  This
was the output:

    loading cache ./config.cache
    checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
    checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
    checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
    checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install
    -c
    checking for java... (cached) /usr/java/bin/java
    checking for Java - version >= 1.1.7... no
    ***
    *** If you have Java installed and it is a newer version than 1.1.7,
    either set
    *** the JAVA_HOME variable or add the directory where the Java
    binaries are to
    *** the PATH.  Alternatively try "./configure
    --with-java-prefix=<java_home>",
    *** e.g. "./configure --with-java-prefix=/usr/jdk".
    ***
    *** Also make sure that configure does not find the wrong version of
    Java by
    *** looking at the output of "which java".
    ***

I then set my JAVA_HOME variable to point to /usr/java/jdk1.3 and ran
the ./configure script again.  This was the output:

    loading cache ./config.cache
    checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
    checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
    checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
    checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
    checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install
    -c
    Add /usr/java/IBMJava2-13/bin to path and check again.
    checking for java... /usr/java/jdk1.3/bin/java
    checking for Java - version >= 1.1.7... yes
    checking for javadoc... (cached) /usr/java/bin/javadoc

    checking for main in -libs... (cached) no
    checking for gtk-config... (cached) /usr/bin/gtk-config
    checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.0... yes

    checking for GNOME - version >= 1.2.0... yes
    checking for libglade-config... (cached) /usr/bin/libglade-config

    checking for working const... (cached) yes
    checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) gcc -E

    creating test/Makefile
    creating src/Makefile
    creating src/tools/Makefile
    creating Makefile
    creating java-gnome.spec
    creating java-gtk.spec

Obviously, it detected my JAVA_HOME variable, but it set the path for
javac and other tools to /usr/java/bin... I then ran make and it barfed
when looking for javac.

I tooled around in the configure script looking for help, but i was
lost.  I then made a symbolic link from /usr/java/bin to
/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin and untarred everything and started over.  This
time when I ran make, it detected my javac and everything, but it failed
with all kinds of errors...  I've attached some of the output from the
make command.  I am wondering if this is because I am using Gnome1.4
beta from Ximian.

Any suggestions?
