I put the hole thing on hold and installed the linux 13 jdk. But what I really don't understand is, why? Why do I get these strange errors. Downloading the wrong src is no option because the files are being checksum-ed…I'm still puzzled but thanks for your time and patience. --Robert Juha Saarinen wrote: > > :: So, which are you better off installing? jdk12-beta is a native > :: port, and > :: gives much faster performance. linux-jdk13 seems more sluggish, and > :: it lacks a JIT feature, AFAIK.
