The current version of BASE doesn't compile unless you have Java 6, so you'll need Java 6 to run it as well. I don't remember exactly in which BASE version this happened, but support for Java 5 was officially dropped in BASE 2.5, but I think it continued to work for a few version after that. We have some developers running on Apple's beta-release of Java 6. It seems to work, but not without some problems. I would not recommend it for production use. > Further/up-to-date instructions (changing data root, creating the db's > etc) should be provided by the output of the "port install" commands. > N.B.

You will need Tomcat 6, since BASE uses features that are not available in Tomcat 5.x. Eg. Tomcat 6 has support for Servlet/JSP specification 2.5/2.1 while Tomcat 5 only has Servlet specification 2.4/2.0. But as far as I know, Tomcat is pretty platform-independent and you should be able to download and install Tomcat from http://tomcat.apache.org/. /Nicklas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ The BASE general discussion mailing list basedb-users@lists.sourceforge.net unsubscribe: send a mail with subject "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
