Fuck that noise. If you can support Linux binary compatibility (try linux_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf), you can use the Linux binary version of Java instead of jumping through hoops to compile a native recent version on FreeBSD. # fetch "http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9719"; # mv AutoDL\?BundleId\=9719 j2re1.4.2_05 # chmod 755 j2re1.4.2_05 # ./j2re1.4.2_05 [press Enter a lot, then agree to the license] Finally, edit your start-freenet.sh to point to the copy of Java that you installed. This is how I run Freenet under FreeBSD ... with the Linux distribution. It's a shame that Dolphin is no longer participating here, he was a FreeBSD user who had managed to compile his own local native copy of Java. I could never get it to work, so I went with emulating the Linux version. -s _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
