Well, it sort of tells you what to do. For once portage has a error that isn't encrypted or something. lol !!! dev-java/jnlp-bin-1.2-r1 has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Please download javaws-1_2-dev.zip and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles * https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/viewproductdetail-start?productref=7026-jaws_dev_pack-1.2-oth-...@cds-cds_developer I just went to the link provided, click accept on the license thingy and there they are. After you get them downloaded, just put them in /usr/portage/distfiles and emerge them normally. It's been a while since I have ran into this. Dale :-) :-)
