If so, how do I best report it? 2) Because libjava.so and libverify.so were compiled by the java/jdk14 port, your suggestions on recompiling those libraries should be done within that framework. (This part is for you Alexey). 3) For now, I will try using ldconfig, but I think that the better solution is to fix the creation of the shared libraries. --=20 Tom Schutter
