I just tried out the new port, and I'm happy to report that ServerSockets now work! I tried a pile of other code I had lying around, everything compiled and interpreted fine. Two annoying things: 1) The appletviewer doesn't work for me. I get "Invalid JAVA_HOME: /usr/local/java". I tried leaving it out of my .cshrc, no luck; and I tried setting it all around the root directory (/bin, etc..). 2) I now get annoying X messages (even when compiling !?) : (null): warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.0: minor version 0 older than expected 1, using it anyway (null): warning: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.0: minor version 0 older than expected 1, using it anyway Is this normal, and why is the compiler giving me these errors? I get the warning from serveral other programs too - I'm mostly just curious about javac's need for X stuff :-) Otherwise, great work - I LOVE having a java environment on my FreeBSD machine, and thanks again for the ServerSocket fix. One other thing, does anyone else notice that it takes _forever_ for the java interpreter to bring up a Dialog class?? My machine takes about 5 seconds to pop up a dialog (with just a label on it). This seems wrong since my machine is a PPro, and also I noticed that almost no CPU is being used - it just seems to stall for a while (the calling Frame is still functional though). Thanks Jeffrey, -Mark P.S. Are there any plans on supporting 65K colors in the interpreter? My AWT apps run without crashing, but they are shades of blue only while in 65K hi-color mode =) --------------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | RingZero Comp. vinyl.quickweb.com/mark | --------------------------------------------------- "To iterate is human, to recurse divine." - L.
