So is there any JRE for freeBSD? I went to one FreeBSD page and >it had a link to JavaSoft.com and it was a JRE for LINUX. Hi yes I found the same broken link problem this weekend.... (this MIGHT work for you) I found some links to java/JRE for freebsd but in a rather unusual way - i went to www.icq.com then to download the javaicq. It takes you to a selection page for which OS - select freebsd from the required components section and it takes you to links (not on freebsd.org) to sites where you can download the required jdk/jre. read the instructions carefully :) make sure you have 2.1 compatibility installed (look at /etc/make.conf, uncomment the 2.1 compatibility line then build the world) - -- John -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPsdk version 1.7.1 iQA/AwUBOJ7PGy0BLCPdX3ejEQL/8wCeLn6c4YKo8v9oGx66D1XobxIJKM4AoO3M Vcr1BF5tjbgDYsrhMNSs3GdG =+mCY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
