I've tried the native freebsd jdk 1.2 beta, and linux 1.2 jdk, neither of which work for me, they don't compile basically. So i thought I should try something more pedestrian. I'd be happy to just have a v1.1 jdk running, so I've been trying to get jdk1.1.8 running, to no avail. I'm trying to install jdk1.1.8 from the ports collection. To be sure, I downloaded a fresh tar file of the port (/usr/ports/java/jdk) and ran this. As I had tried installing it a few other times, this is a 'make reinstall'... bash-2.04# make reinstall ===> Installing for jdk-1.1.8 ===> jdk-1.1.8 depends on executable: javavm - found /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/jdk1.1.8 (cd /usr/ports/java/jdk/work/jdk1.1.8 && /usr/bin/tar -c -f - .) | (cd /usr/local/jdk1.1.8 && /usr/bin/tar --unlink -x -f -) /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/java/classes /bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/share/doc/java ===> Generating temporary packing list ** Missing package files for jdk-1.1.8. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/jdk. bash-2.04# the error is "missing package files for jdk-1.1.8" - but I have no idea what files are missing... I've also tried downloading the whole jdk from www.freebsd.org/java and putting it in /usr/local/jdk1.1.8 but it complains that some version 3 library files are not around. I've tried making sym links from these to their version 4 equivalents, but then when i try to run anything with java i get segmentation violations and java core dumps. Perhaps 1.1.8 just won't run on 4.X freebsd??? Cheers Jesse PS, I'm just wanting to run Apache Tomcat and Cocoon, which will work with either 1.1 or 1.2 JDK's, which JDK do you think I'll have the best luck with?
