good day all

Just on the off-chance, I decided to have another go this morning.

Openjdk7  build completed.

So to clarify between previous and this successul attempt:

Previously, immediately after installing slackware 15, I ran 'slackpkg 
upgrade-all' to bring the release up to latest changes.

Then I left it running and moved onto a laptop I used and connected up to 
it remotely using ssh.

Then I tried the openjdk7 build.  Four attempts (inc reinstall Slack 15 
plus upgrade plus tweaks suggested on here for the build) failed.

For this mornings successful build of openjdk7 I reinstalled slackware 
just as previous, but I did *not* update it (slackpkg upgrade-all).

Nor did I use 'ssh' and just did the build at the console.

So the differences are 1) I was at a console on the machine and not via 
ssh and 2) I did not run 'slackpkg upgrade-all' (which installs a new 
kernel etc) following the install.

Perhap in these two differences is a/the reason.

- environment of ssh (which I doubt is an issue as it's never been a 
problem previously so why with Slack.15)

- 'slackpkg upgrade-all' is introducing an 'incompatibility' issue (eg. 
perhaps with gcc5 ?)


It's all I have at my level of competency  .
