I'm not certain that this is the *easiest* method, but I've found installing dev-java/gcj-jdk temporarily before building icedtea6 (note that sys-devel/gcc must have USE=gcj for gcj-jdk to build) works well, as gcj-jdk meets the requirement for virtual/gnu-classpath-jdk, which means that icedtea6 will not depend on itself. Using gcj-jdk, I managed to build icedtea6 without ever having had sun-jdk installed on this system. This has worked both on my amd64 system, as well as my x86 system. You mentioned the "nsplugin" USE flag - this *does* work on amd64, and will install a 64-bit plugin for Netscape / Firefox / Seamonkey / Epiphany / etc. - -- ABCD -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkl6juwACgkQOypDUo0oQOqA2QCg3uU2fv6O/gnkVhUGAHhisdvJ YPQAoN6i4TYF8ezCveakZ1QkXt6jozsz =f+Qn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
