I actually don't own the box, but I think it's a Pentium II. The guy who installed FreeBSD at first did not install the compatiblity package, so after I first installed JRE and also JDK 1.1.7, I got the /usr/libexec/ld.so missing message. He then added the compatibility package which puts in /usr/libexec/ld.so. Now when I try to run either jdk or jre, I get "Floating point exception" and it cores. Any thoughts or suggestions...
