The versions of files I was told to download are: diablo-caffe-freebsd6-i386-1.5.0_07-b01.tar.bz2 jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-bin-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar jdk-1_5_0_14-fcs-src-b03-jrl-05_oct_2007.jar tzupdater-1.3.3-2007k.zip I recently rebuilt my workstation and installed full KDE. The Java files were a requirement for one of the extras installed for KDE. I then installed OpenOffice from the ports and it didn't once complain about anything. This was all done with a current portsnap just before installing everything. ------ _|_ |_| |
