Question

I am trying to build pdftk from source on fedora machine. I have unzip pdftk jar and trying to execute
make -f Makefile.Redhat
But i am getting following error on my console.

From the output i can infer that it is not able to find gcjh,gcj path. I am not able to find out what path should be given into the Makefile.

Answer 1

Do you actually have the gcc-java package installed? That is what provides the gcj and gcjh executables (though not gcj-4.7.2 or gcjh-4.7.2).
