Is Java available on the gumstix?
Yes, there are several options for Java now. SQLite seems to require readline to compile (I think only for the sqlite3 command line interface), so we added that to the buildroot too. That in turn requires ncurses (since it looks like using termcap leads to undefined symbols at link time), so we fixed up ncurses too. Right now, both ncurses and readline will compile into the root_fs as shared libs, and sqlite links against those. sqlite also will be installed in the root_fs as a shared lib.
