I don't know why I tried to install JAVA.
Quite difficult actually.
Yes, it *is* something of a monster, not only in its size, but in having had "too

John, that was your first mistake. When you begin you must download a copy of the book
for consistency throughout your build. The SVN version is very much a moving target,
liable to "switch horses in midstream". You need to get svn to download a copy
of what you started with. You're pretty far into it to start over, but next time go for
the stable version of the book.
The entire Java section of the book was updated last night. See
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/java.html
and the following pages.
We really recommend installing in /opt as that allows you to easily
remove an incomplete or bad install and start over.
