If you already have a bootstrapped icedtea or openjdk on the system then it isn't strictly necessary and you can also configure --with-icedtea or --with-openjdk and it will use that for the bootstrapping phase. See also ./configure --help for some more options to specify the "home dir" for these installations if you got them in a non-default place. > >> I'll look at building lesstif and see what happens then... > >> > > This really shouldn't be necessary anymore.

I CCed the icedtea list (distro-pkg-dev), but that (luckily) also doesn't do the harmful reply-to header munging (but that is probably another bikeshed flamewar waiting to happen...). Cheers, Mark
