What directory are you running make from? Is it /usr/ports/java/jdk15? /usr/ports is the default location for ports, but you may get this error if you attempt to make a valid port from an invalid directory, or with invalid entries in /usr/ports/Mk or even in /etc/make.conf How are you updating your ports tree? lane
