about installing pdftk

[satimis]

Hi folks,

I tried to emerge pdftk resulting on;

....
!!! ERROR: app-text/pdftk-1.12 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1562:   Called dyn_setup
  ebuild.sh, line 665:   Called pkg_setup
  pdftk-1.12.ebuild, line 23:   Called die

!!! gcj not found.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if rel evant.

# emerge --search gcj

# emerge --search gcj
Searching...

What is gcj? Please advise how to fix this problem. TIA

gcj is the GNU Java compiler Look at this page for more info

About the problem, I think gcc comes with gcj and all such tools and there is no special ebuild for gcj. Hence try this:

emerge sys-devel/gcc

Good luck.

Hi apoorv_khurasia,

Tks for your advice.

Hence try this:

emerge sys-devel/gcc

# emerge -pv sys-devel/gcc
# emerge -av sys-devel/gcc

Installation went through w/o complaint.

# emerge -av pdftk

 * Re-emerge sys-devel/gcc with "gcj" enabled.

You have to emerge gcc with the "gcj" use flag enabled.

echo "sys-devel/gcc gcj" >> /etc/portage/package.use

Then

emerge -avuDN world

or

emerge -avuN gcc

Hi gruven,

Your advice worked for me. Tks.

pdftk emerged

# which pdftk
/usr/bin/pdftk
