Description Thomas Zander 2003-04-30 18:16:00 UTC

Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

In the configure script in kdebase (and kdebindings) java detection is done using find, and the configure script used an old version I still had on my system.

The SUN JRE requires an environment variable to be set called 'JAVA_HOME' I recomend using that instead, and maybe fall back to the find method if the $JAVA_HOME way fails...

ps. JAVA_HOME points to the base dir; the one that contains the bin dir for example.
