Error emerging PHP

[BackSeat]

I get an error when Gentoo tries to compile PHP:

I have the same problem despite adding -java to the /etc/make.conf.
I was of the impression that the whole emerge thing was supposed to take care of dependencies, and java was included in everything built so far. (obviously I'm wrong here).
If I comment out the "use java" line in the ebuild then the ebuild fails on mcrypt, likewise on pdflib and mysql. I've given up as I'm already out of my depth on the consequences of doing the above.

Please, any ideas of what's the prob or where I'm going awry.

Having investigated further, I find that I needed to do a:
# java-config --set-system-vm=blackdown-jre-1.3.1 (in my case), having done a
# java-config --list-available-vms

All went well after that
