I didn't think it was not possible to *build* it without GTK, but the java binary doesn't link to GTK+ libraries directly, and certainly runs without them handy. My guess is that they've removed anything requiring GTK libs and packaged it up. I've *heard* that it is possible on OpenJDK-7, but I haven't verified myself. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
