Can't compile with gcj

Okay, this is very weird ... if I try to compile the Java part of Ice 3.3.0 with gcj, I get the following error:
[javac] 1636. ERROR in /hd/home/mef/rpmbuild/BUILD/Ice-3.3.0/java/src/IceInternal/Timer.java (at line 21)
[javac] interface TimerTask
[javac] ^^^^^^^^^
[javac] The type TimerTask is already defined

It compiles fine with Sun Java, and I think the above is a spurious error, but I can't figure out what's going on (still trying ...). Any ideas?

    Hi Mary-Ellen,

    I think that's just a bug in Timer.java :( . TimerTask should be in its own TimerTask.java file.

    Cheers,
    Bernard

    There are patches available for this and some other distrib-related issues in my personal repo:
    http://arco.inf-cr.uclm.es/~francisco.moya/debian/

    Everything compiles ok under gcj although running Ice binaries is another issue...

    Regards,

    Cool, thanks for the pointer! Would it be acceptable to include your man pages in my Fedora RPM? I'd have to remove the pointers to the "non-free zeroc-ice-manual package" but otherwise they'd go in unchanged.

    Hi Mary Ellen,

    Actually these manpages are not mine, they are taken unmodified from the ZeroC manual. I asked for permission on this forum to include them in my packages. Unfortunately I got a complaint on the licensing terms of the manpages and I had to replace them by stubs which are now GPLd.

    Best regards,
    Paco
