I've downloaded the correct packages from the Java site and put them in the /usr/ports/distfiles so this is not where the install fails. It appears to give the following message: Linging vm... Arguments.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized Gmake[3]: *** [libjvm_g.so] Error 1 There's a ton of more error messages below this... I was installing ports/java/jdk14 Thinking that this may have been a gmake, I installed that from the devel port first, but the error still occurred. Why is java so difficult to install? I've had it easy with all the other ports, samba, apache, pico, etc... Thanks Joe
