Hello, I am having trouble installing Java on my computer. I am primarily interested in the virtual machine. I tried following the instructions in the handbook, to no success. Most recently I tried installing Blackdown. Here is what I did. I went to the Ports collection as root and found linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2 and performed make install clean. There were no error messages. That sequence created a directory (/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2). Next, I changed directories (/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/plugins) and created a symbolic link to libjavaplugins_oji.so (ln -s /usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2/jre/plugins/ i386/mozilla/libjavaplugins_oji.so). Next, I exited root and became user. Then I typed %export PATH=/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jdk1.4.2/bin:$PATH Then I exited all open terminals and restarted Mozilla with mozilla, and the following error messages were reported. >Error: No running window found. >LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library >/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ShockwaveFlash_linux.so >[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/ShockwaveFlash_linux >.so: invalid file format] >LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library >/usr/local/linux-blackdown-jd >k1.4.2/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so [Shared >object "libdl.so.2" not found, required by >"libjavaplugin_oji.so"] I am a newbie to UNIX and FreeBSD. I am running FreBSD 5.3-RELEASE on an old pentium II celeron. I use Blackbox as my window manager. I have Mozilla 1.7.2. Most of the other technical issues I have had while learning about UNIX and FreeBSD have been about my failure to read something thoroughly, but this time I think I have done everything I was supposed to do and am still lost. Please help. Thank you Mark
