[pylucene-dev] PyLucene install errors [was: JCC install errors]

[Alessandro Magni]

thank you for your ongoing help,
I realize my questions are "basic", but the java world is fairly more 
complicated to what I'm used...

I installed it as you suggested - not banal, but the help page at 
http://rabbitbrush.frazmtn.com/sun-java-on-F8.html was really a godsend.

JCC built/installed OK

But the main program still gives me problems:


[root at lambda2 PyLucene-2.3.0-1]# make
cd lucene-java-2.3.0; ant -Dversion=2.3.0
Buildfile: build.xml

    [javac] Compiling 258 source files to

BUILD FAILED
/usr/src/PyLucene-2.3.0-1/lucene-java-2.3.0/common-build.xml:218: The 
following error occurred while executing this line:
/usr/src/PyLucene-2.3.0-1/lucene-java-2.3.0/common-build.xml:474: Unable 
to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_04/jre"

make: *** [lucene-java-2.3.0/build/lucene-core-2.3.0.jar] Error 1


... yet I'm sure the "alternatives" for java,javac,libjavaplugin.so all 
point to sun location, e.g.:
[root at lambda2 PyLucene-2.3.0-1]# alternatives --config javac

There are 3 programs which provide 'javac'.

  Selection    Command
-----------------------------------------------
*  1           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-icedtea/bin/javac
   2           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/bin/javac
 + 3           /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun/bin/javac



and - this puzzles me most - here is my JAVA_HOME:

[root at lambda2 PyLucene-2.3.0-1]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0.04/bin


how in the world it's able to reset it? I'm sure it's not in the 
PyLucene Makefile...


Puzzled,

  alessandro
