I get the same thing. I have working linux emulation at the kernel/executable level, but don't have any linux_base installed. (can't!) I have a commercial database/rad application that I use a lot that comes in several unix versions including linux and it works perfect. However it's self contained, doesn't need any shared libraries etc... I had to brand my linux binaries too, until I learned about setting the default brand via sysctl. one of the lines above shows that the make script does this for you just before it tries to run any linux binary so it shouldn't be a branding problem. That's what this line was about: > kern.fallback_elf_brand: 3 -> 3 (also shows that your default brand was already linux anyways) I think I will just never ever ever ever have java. :) I can and do retrieve the latest sources and patches from all the places that the make script tells me to, but then it still needs something linux, thats where it always dies. What the *hell* is the problem with sun anyways that it is so impossible for anyone to redistribute binaries??? I thought they _wanted_ people to use it instead of active-x or whatever the teal monster comes up with next week. Aside from that, why, if we can download the source, is it still necessary to have anything involving linux emulation in order to build it anyways? I've taken several stabs at compiling java, (every few months for the last year and a half) and I'm no dolt, and I'm no newbie to unix, and in 1 1/2 years I still don't have it. :) I say the port should just be marked broken so people don't waste their time thinking "it's in the ports tree, so I should be able to install it as long as it isn't incompatible with some other port I've already installed or some other aspect of my machine." If it does work for some people, then the port is still broken even if all that's broken is the make script not checking dependancies thoroughly enough. Brian K.
