I have not been able to use a jdk on my desktop because I use gnome
which requires that I mount /proc and when I try and run java with
proc mounted:

% /usr/local/bin/java
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
zsh: exit 2     /usr/local/bin/java

but following the instructions I was able to build openjdk7 and I now
have a working jdk.

Thank You!
