The path for everyone is set in /etc/profile. Your shell should reference
this when you start a new instance of it (i.e. log in, open a new xterm or
Konsole or whatever). (It's *actually* built from stuff in /etc/env.d so you
shouldn't modify /etc/profile directly...)

Try doing "source /etc/profile" in a shell, and that shell should pick up the
new path. Restarting X or rebooting should make the change global.

Most packages I've installed (I won't say "all" because I could be forgetting
something) modify /etc/profile if they need to change the system PATH. If
Limewire did not, you can add to your ~/.bashrc something like:

export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2/bin

That definitely should be picked up every time you start a new terminal,
because it's in your local (user's) environment.

It should be set in one or more of the files in /etc/env.d.

The standard paths are set in /etc/env.d/00basic but the java ebuild
should have added a separate file for java settings,
usually /etc/env.d/20java. Mine contains

# Autogenerated by java-config
# Command: --set-system-vm=ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2
JDK_HOME=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2
JAVAC=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin/javac
PATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin"
ROOTPATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/bin:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin"
LDPATH="/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin/:/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/bin/classic"
# VERSION="IBM JDK 1.4.2"
JAVA_HOME=/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2

As you can see from the comment, maybe you should run java-config to set
up java correctly.

I think I have a problem with python or something. I ran java-config,
and that did nothing. I used some options the next time I ran it and I
got some python errors. I even tried putting your thing above into
/etc/env.d/20java and that did nothing. So I am still working on it

It might be helpful if you told us which options you used and the errors
it gave.

Didn't really want to bother asking for help, from what I have seen on
this lists there is not a lot of traffic here, which leads me to believe
one of 3 things A. People have better things to do, B. People don't
have problems or C. Not many use Gentoo on the mac, All of these
possibilities seem plausible, and the silence intimidating.

But here's what you asked for:

java-config > Nothing happened
java-config -o > Prints an empty space where output should be
java-config -J >
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 123, in ?
run(option_list)
File "/usr/bin/java-config", line 41, in run
func(args)
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/java_config/jc_options.py",
line 199, in __call__
print find_exec('java')
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/java_config/jc_util.py", line
99, in find_exec
exec_0 = jh+'/bin/'+exe
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'
java-config -c > same as above
java-config -O > same
java-config -v > same

I didn't even bother running the rest because I noticed a pattern, I
either have something not set up right (most likely) or something
emerged wrong (also possible)

I would appreciate as always any help, but not a top priority for me
yet, I managed to figure out the USE flags to get gtk-gnutella to build
on gtk1 which actually gave me a gtk-gnutella program. Building it with
no flags it didn't produce a program, and the only notable difference I
could see was that it linked on GTK1 this time instead of GTK2

I did add /opt/ibm-jre-bin-1.4.2/bin to my $PATH via a line in ~/.bashrc
and started limewire on the terminal, and the output I get is:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger
(com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Initializer).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

this to me meant that that one line for my PATH won't cut it. Am I correct?

No, you are wrong in all three :) . But most of the Q&A traffic seems to be in
Gentoo forums: http://forums.gentoo.org/ . I suggest that you take a look there,
and also in http://gentoo-wiki.com/ , lots of PPC specific stuff there, too.
