javacomp.sh error on "make"

[Paul Price]

I am attempting to build gettext 0.14.5 under RHEL3, and get the below
error.  I'm not sure if this is a bug or user incompetence, but it seems
like the former to me (which it also would if it were the latter...).

I grabbed the tarball from
http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gettext/gettext-0.14.5.tar.gz

address@hidden:/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5>./configure
--prefix=/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5

[...]

address@hidden:/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5>make

[...]

Making all in intl-java
make[3]: Entering directory
`/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-runtime/intl-java'
/bin/sh ../lib/javacomp.sh -d . ./gnu/gettext/GettextResource.java
libgcj-java-placeholder.sh
 
This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
master link required by jpackage.org conventions.  libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.
 
This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
 
This script was designed to be overridden by the supported RHEL3 JRE
packages, java-1.4.2-bea and java-1.4.2-ibm.  It is installed as an
alternative symlink as /usr/bin/java.  It will override a third-party
(non-RHEL3) JRE's java command if the JRE's bin directory is listed
after /usr/bin in PATH.  In that case, it is recommended that the
third-party JRE's bin directory be listed first in PATH instead.

Going into the directory and trying by hand the command make wanted to
do:

address@hidden:/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-runtime/intl-java>/bin/sh
 ../lib/javacomp.sh -d . ./gnu/gettext/GettextResource.java

Produces the same error as above.

I'm not sure what's going on, but if it helps, I have installed the Sun
java:

address@hidden:/home/mithrandir/price/temp/gettext-0.14.5/gettext-runtime/intl-java>ls
 -l `which java`
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           29 Jan 19  2005
/usr/local/bin/java -> /usr/local/j2re1.4.2/bin/java*

I would be happy to supply any other information you need; please let me
know what will help.

Thanks,

Paul.
