I have recently installed freebsd, and wanted to install tomcat, j2sdk, and jserv so I can teach myself java server pages. I have an updated ports tree; however, when I try to install the above ports I get either ***error code 1 or 2 on /usr/ports/java. I found help in mIRC, and was instructed to install the linux binary and download the .tar's for tomcat, j2sdk, and ant. (I was also told that the tomcat port was messed up). I also needed to create a symbolic link to 3 directories from these 3 installs. /usr/local/tomcat, /usr/local/ant, /usr/local/jdk; however, I get "no match for ln" when I try to do a symbolic link from the installed directory to the 3 new directories I created above. I think my problem is that (according to the man pages) I can link source file to target directory, and not directory to directory. I tried something like this: ln -s /usr/home/me/tomcat1.4 [/usr/local/tomcat] I guess I just need some things cleared up if possible. Ie; symlinks, and best way to setup a .jsp environment. I've searched for documentation on this, but seem to have run into a snag. Please let me know if this email is better suited on another list (newbies-bsd???). Also if my email lacks information, let me know and I will beef it up.
