You are advised to use the native FreeBSD JDK, in ports/java/jdk14. This Java VM will attempt to obtain some system information by accessing files in linux's procfs. You must install the Linux emulation procfs filesystem for this to work correctly. The JVM will exhibit various problems otherwise. This can be accomplished by adding the following line to your /etc/fstab file: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 and then, as root, executing the commands: kldload linprocfs mount /compat/linux/proc ======================================================================= Well thats just weird since i was in /usr/ports/java/jdk14 when installing java. I have since added that line to my fstab(so i dont have to do this next time), loaded linprocfs and mounted /compat/linux/proc. It is currently compiling fine now since i have done that, but could anyone tell me why it says to use the native fbsd jdk14 when i was using it in the first place and it wanted me to enable linux proc compat. ? Is it just that they need to update the build messages for the native fbsd jdk14? Pitty there are no packages for this. Cheers, Jayton Garnett
