RE: java jdk14 install - cannot find file
Thanks a lot Mathew, I have the 3 files you first mentioned, and, yes, I have the linux compatabilty set. I will try the cvsup and see if that sorts things out. I'm glad to hear others find this java installation far from simple. Many thanks Peter When i do the Make, it aborts with an error. It cannot find the file I just downloaded.

Re: java jdk14 install - cannot find file
Thanks Malcolm, To make sure my eyes were not playing tricks, I was careful to do the KDE Find Files using a copypaste of the file name in the error message - and it was found exactly where I put it, ie in /usr/ports/distfiles, which is where it is supposed to be The file is about 34MB, so is not just a header, but anyway, the error message says ... doesn't seem to exist. Thanks very much for the advice on finding files in the Konsole. I used the find /usr/ports/distfiles -name version from the Konsole, and it also found the file. (I pasted the file name from the error message to the end of the find command - so I dont think there is any spelling error) This is baffling.
