You either have one of RC versions or the release version of 5.2 or you run CURRENT. With all of these cases I would recerment you to up/down grade to RELENG_5_2 The manual can tell you more about this: www.freebsd.org/handbook/ You have binaries? These might not work. You could compile the port instead. You can do this by executing 'make install clean' from /usr/ports/java/jdk14 - I run 5.2 and it works here so far. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/
