To override the vulnerability (hopefully, you have examined what it is and decided you can live with it) do make -DDISABLE_VULNERABILITIES install clean However, if you install native java-1.4, note that you will have to install linux-sun-jdk14 first. That one has a pkg-message that you should read before starting the whole thing. I have a page that briefly covers it at http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/FreeBSD5x.html It doesn't go into all the details of installing java, but gives a few of the problems, letting you know what to expect. (Though I don't cover the vulnerability issue, that happened later) :) - -- Scott GPG KeyID EB3467D6 ( 1B848 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 D575 EB34 67D6) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Willow: I knew it! I knew it! Well, not in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCnLwG+lTVdes0Z9YRAjEGAKCytBloOqp9FIRqdYb2VBdC+WJObwCgpJsq iWPFH3M0tLQ51poVgiEZCyQ= =Uk5x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
