As far as I know, that error is not relateded to the FreeBSD version,
because I got it on FreeBSD 6.0 too :) Just use

portinstall diablo-jdk15

instead, which will get the needed libraries automagically. Are you sure
your other server didn't already have those libs installed?

That aside, how does the fact that the binaries officially are only for
FreeBSD 6.0 affect the support that can be given? I'm basically asking
if it's a good idea for anyone who depends on Java support to upgrade to
FreeBSD 6.1, or perhaps to hold off until there are official sanctioned
binaries for that platform.
