Since summer this year I try compiling a working 64-bit capable JAVA environment! I had never luck with FBSD 6.0-RELEASE, but with one of the following 6.0-STABLEs. No clue why. These days I did a portupgrade and my jdk15 died again, impossible to compile it again. Installing Linuxulator and linux-jdk14 for bootstrapping purposes works fine, but jdk15 dies: some java vm errors occur. No chance. JAVA is very important these days and the lack of a working java environment is harsh. Can you offer us your errors and failures? Oliver --------------090101060101030804000603--
