Would someone be able to tell me how to go about installing J2SDK
1.3.1 on OpenBSD 3.3 ??

I am getting as far as accepting the licensing agreement, then it
begins check summing ... then it spits out:
0
0
Abort.

And I'm back to shell ...

are you using ports? just drop the right bin file in distfiles, type make
install, and it works.

I do not think I'm using hte ported version, I just DL'd the .BIN for
linux from Sun's site. Is there an alternative file I should be using?

Any more detail about the 'right bin file' and 'distfiles' ?

Thanks!

take the bin file you downloaded, stick it in ports/distfiles, cd
ports/devel/jdk/1.3-linux, and make install. ports is usually under
/usr/ports, see ports.html.

you also need the redhat libraries, get the package from an ftp site.

when i did this, make install I'm pretty sure it went and got the redhat
binaries for me, unless i already had them. But I did an install from
floppy and java was the first thing I got running. (although I remember
running make install twice not sure what went wrong)

I've only been running openBSD for a week, so follow Teds advice, if not
sure.

Although I would be interested in if that did get the binaries
automatically.

it should get them for you. if he hasn't heard of ports though, i thought
it likely he hadn't installed libraries which would cause the java install
to fail.

Where can I find said libraries?

OK, here is my solution:
1. Hit my local OpenBSD FTP server and grabbed ports.tar.gz
2. Uncompressed that into the /usr/
3. CD /usr/ports/devel/jdk/jdk1.3-linux/
4. make
5. make install

Seems to be working fine now ... thanks
