I am in a whirlwind of re(?)installation confusion
revolving around making sure I have prerequisites
for a Bioinformatics progam.
Here is that program's installation page:
http://www.fruitfly.org/annot/apollo/install.html
I selected the "Any UNIX" to get this script called
apolloinst.bin that seems to just set up a bunch of
environment variables. I got a JVM error
[:: clip command line ::]

I was told to add the line JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/bin/java"
to the script, but in the meantime I have been distracted
by reinstalling java. Since my error message diagnostic
"java [garbage]" above shows that I do have a java, the
JVM error made me feel like reinstalling java (spurious
and impulsive, I know).
My Java 1.6 port installation has been proceeding for
over 30 hours now! In the meanwhile, I decided to add
the Berkeley Oracle DB port, but got distracted by the
possibilities 1)vanilla (??) 2) Java DB or 3) XML DB
Are these three possibilities to all be installed, or
only one of them? Anyway, with the java 1.6 make
still running (I know, nuts.. but fatal?) I decided
to make install clean /usr/ports/databases/dbXML and got this
message:
kv_bsd#cd dbXML/

in a web browser and follow the "Download" link for the

In addition, please download the patchset, bsd-jdk131-patches-9.tar.gz,
from

Then place the downloaded files in /usr/ports/distfiles and restart the

Okay. To boil it down, what is happening with Java 1.6, should
I kill it, and is it the right thing to get these older patches
and put them in /usr/ports/distfiles..
Oh, also, here are the patches I currently have for the jdks:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ls /usr/ports/distfiles/bsd*
/usr/ports/distfiles/bsd-jdk14-patches-8.tar.gz
/usr/ports/distfiles/bsd-jdk16-patches-3.tar.bz2
/usr/ports/distfiles/bsd-jdk16-patches-4.tar.bz2
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$
Does it make sense to keep patches for different versions, and
e.g. the jdk patch 3 and patch4 both being there, does that
make sense? Is it okay to just get all that patches? Is
it best to only have the most recent patch? Does this depend
on other ports like dbXML that may NEED something in PARTICULAR
from a older patch from the current version or from an older
version?
