The problem you are mostlijkely experiencing is that XFree86 as shipped with FreeBSD has an incorrect fonts.dir file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc. # cd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc # mkfontdir > At the bottom line where it sometimes shows scrolling text, there is the > message > > "Applet can't start: error: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: findSystemClass" Dunno that one. > I have the JDK, and I'm able to compile and run a simple HelloWorld > application.

AFAIK, shared library names must conform to libname.so.major.minor, so 'libawt.so' is possibly not recognised by ldconfig. > | Steve Reid - SysAdmin & Pres, EDM Web (http://www.edmweb.com/) | -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
