db46: alternate solution for missing Java headers

[torstensteinert@…]

Configuring db64 fails due to missing Java header files. The files are not really missing, but rather in a different directory than searched for. Here is the output:

--->  Configuring db46
Error: db46 requires the Java for Mac OS X development headers.
Error: Download the Java Developer Package from: <https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20719>
Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: missing Java headers
Error: Failed to install db46
Log for db46 is at: /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_databases_db46/main.log

After searching the web, the problem solves by creating a link:

sudo ln -s /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Headers /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Headers

The solution we have thus far recommended is the one you quoted in the error message, i.e., download and install the Java developer package from Apple.

P.S: Please remember WikiFormatting.

As far as I understand, I already had the Java developer package installed. Else I would not have been able to fix this by creating the link (see ticket-description). Could the directory of the header files have changed in the last java version?

We're not going to modify /System. Yes, the last Java update removed the headers and you need to install the corresponding developer package update to get them back.

Hi, I tried to apply the proposed solution, but it doesn't work. What should I do?
