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
