Are you sure you're up to date? I just stumbled upon some instructions last night for building the JDK from scratch and am waiting for it to finish compiling right now. This resolves any issues with compiler versions, etc. Here's the URL for the page: http://linuxfromscratch.org/~tushar/hints/javafromscratch.txt The instructions are all rather straightforward. You download a few packages, apply a few patches, and prune the source tree a bit and then run make. Altogether, you're looking at about 10 minutes of work. The compilation time is a bit hefty though. The author says it takes about 4 hours on a PIII-800. Be warned that you'll need to have plenty of free space. I started the compilation last night and woke up today to find it "finished". Unfortunately, I ran out of disk space in the process so now I'm having to recompile. :) My build directory right now is 632 MB. Good luck. :) -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred. You can get my public key from any of the pgp.net keyservers. Key ID: A6D24837
