Indeed, but a compiler can't take all installed libs (some of which may not be in Debian packages, or not even in publically-readable locations) into account. Compare that to the C compiler: the JRE's java.* implementation is like libc, which one expects to get linked automatically. But you wouldn't expect gcc to scan for all libraries/headers on install and search/link all of them on use. -- Robbe
