And, yes, you might want to consider upgrading. Unfortunately, the following fix is unsupported: For earlier FreeBSD releases the following might work (it's been some time since I've tried this): ln -s /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2 \ /usr/local/jdk1.1.5/lib/i386/green_threads/libc.so.3.0 (This assumes that your version of libc in /usr/lib is libc.so.2.2, and that you've installed the JDK in /usr/local. Salt to taste.) ...keith -- Keith White, EITI/SITE, University of Ottawa kwhite@site.uottawa.ca [+1 613 562 5800 x6681] FAX [+1 613 562 5187] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
