This is the problem as I see it. ld.so, which is used for finding and loading shared libraries, is not configured to look in /usr/local/Diablo-jre1.6.0/lib/amd64 for libraries. I'd like to know which port you installed, and how you installed it. Based on the above, it appears to me the port itself may/does have a bug -- it should be updating the hints path to include that directory, but does/is not. Please note I am in no way shape or form familiar with Java or this port. I do not know if this is specific to your machine or not -- however, this is the first time I've seen it mentioned, and I quite active with freebsd-ports. (I'm subscribed to 15 separate FreeBSD mailing lists, and I read/follow them all) Regarding the problem itself: there are ways to work around this by using the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I do not recommend this, though -- properly configuring the ld.so search path when a program (or port) is installed is the proper method. Cross-posting to multiple lists is generally shunned upon, so answers to the above questions will help determine if the discussion should be moved to freebsd-ports@ or not. I've a feeling it should be.
