I have also checked the man pages and the on line handbook. Here is my problem: I'm trying to install java14 via the ports system. So far, I have installed many ports in my 5.3 system all with no problems. What happens in trying to install is that I get the error message "printf: missing format character", jdk-1.4.2p6_6 is*** Error code 1. I had previously downloaded the j2sdk-1_4_2-mozilla_headers-unix.zip into the /usr/ports/distfiles directory. Please let me know what other piece of information is needed to solve this problem or to whom could I direct this question. Thanks. Luis
