Hi,
O.k., people please correct me if I'm wrong but...
I've been having a small amount of trouble with running Java on FreeBSD
(version 5.4 for amd64) and I was hoping that someone would be kind
enough to help me out.
I manually installed the linux version of Java. Which seemed to work
alright
[...]
So... Then I went through the documentation for FreeBSD some more and
decided to start over by reinstalling the Linux Java using:
cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk15
make install clean
But now I get the following error: linux-sun-jdk-1.5.0.01,2 does not run
(core dumps: Bad System Call). Note that previously I manually
installed it by simply downloading the Linux version on another
computer, transfering it over to the computer, and executing the file.
I *think* I've heard/read that the AMD64 version of FreeBSD doesn't
feature 'Linux compatibility'. Perhaps that's where your issues come
from. No idea why a binary distribution of a Linux version would have
worked, but perhaps that was just coincidence?!?
Either way, please don't come down too hard on me if I'm way off base
here; as the above is purely based on hearsay and my own speculation...
Cheers!
Olafo
