Hi all,

This is probably a bit of a n00b question. However someone here might know the answer to this. When I try to build JDK 8 on Fedora 16 I'm getting the link error below. The environment variables I have set are: ALLOWDOWNLOADS=true ALTBOOTDIR=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk LANG=C BTW I do have the latest libstdc++ installed: $ sudo yum install libstdc++ Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package libstdc++-4.6.2-1.fc16.i686 already installed and latest version Nothing to do Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks, David This happens when the build has failed for some other reason.  Go into the product directory and delete the libjvm.so symlink and try "make hotspot" again. Andrew.

It keeps failing. What how can I find out what the other reason for failing is?

Could it be related to this message? Linking vm... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ collect2: ld returned 1 exit status which is a bit odd given that I have the latest libstdc++ installed...

Cheers,

David
