Hi Jesse, If want to install a JDK, you can start with JDK 1.1, and if that works, you could try 1.2. The native JDK 1.2.2b10 needs the JDK 1.1.8 anyway. First of all, remove the downloaded tar file: # rm /usr/ports/distfiles/jdk1.1.8_ELF.V1999-11-9.tar.gz Ignore any error messages. and then try making the port from scratch: # pkg_remove jdk-1.1.8 # cd /usr/ports/java/jdk # rm -rf work # make install Ignore any error messages. If there are no error messages, then that's okay too, ofcours :) Now if this process fails, send a detailed description of the error messages back to the list. -- Ernst jesse reynolds wrote: > Hi > > I'm having awful problems trying to get any sort of java functioning > on FreeBSD.
