ports are gone! CRIKEY! java MUST GO UP SOON

to install this java package try, make and then make config and make install.

for cvsup check which cvsup, if no answer then add_pkg cvsup and then download a new port collection with the help of cvsup.

okay.. "try?"  i can't boot on freeBSD now thanks to this O@#& i used to call a friend who lost my mouse.. i have done tries inside a
java program, but i am sensing this "try" is something like running Makefile.pl or something for installing cpan modules for perl..
is there a link to how to werk this command line installation "try?"

as for cvsup, you mean pkg_add -r cvsup, right?  or add_pkg is synonym but you still need -r right?  i think i have cvsup but i
have a stomach ache about the supfiles.

i'm sorry. i know.  i'm real lame.  i need serious syntax.  if i was booted on freeBSD now, i would try to do a better job and i will
be investigating a little but i wanted to make sure to respond to possible concerns as soon as possible.

here's a page for debian (prolly not the right syntax)

http://www.crazysquirrel.com/computing/debian/java.jspx

lots of stuff i understand going directly on the command line or in script/config files there.. but i don't think it is relevant to freeBSD..
let me se what else i googled..

here's another page with the same three damnable options: 1) winders 2) linux 3) solaris

http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010100.xml

ARG!

do i do the solaris or the linux?  arg!!

on cvsup, btw, my $PATH is way *@#&ed up.. but i can't werry about that.. i have stoopid tcsh i don't know what happened to my freeking
prompt but oh well.. i just have to go full path for now the important thing is to get java werking.  i have gotten java werking here
before so i am confident, unlike with my other subtle questions that ppl who don't have my standards complain about me
"one upping" about stuff that follows from my question in my estimation in the first place.

just a freeking werd of warning.  arg.  whatev.

to reboot from a prompt use: "shutdown -r now"

So can you conclude your problem ?
1. no cvsup (fixed ?)
2. the supfile is missing ?
3. Can't install java ?

For cvsup, I guess you fixed.

If you reinstall your cvsup, the supfile should be there, right ? If it is corrupted, try remove the supfile and then reinstall the cvsup again.

3. Installing java is complicated, but first of all, which version you are trying to install ?

ok step are these

first mount your cdrom
mount /cdrom
cd cdrom
go in the directory where cvsup package present

type pkg_add <your cvsup package file name>

rehash
which cvsup
/usr/bin
if thats the answer now your cvsup is added or repaired and you have update supfile
now download ports using cvsup and then you can install update port of java from /usr/ports/lang/

i don't especially care about cvsup or ports or whatever right now.. let's just
give somebody a big score for java because i have an assignment due soon
that i need java for.  

noci:  umm.. okay.. what are YOU smoking?  i know that, but thanks. if i
didn't know that.. er.. shutdown -h now is what i need..

oh wait.. okay.. let me see..

i need to burn a new one.  hopefully that won't be necessary i have to
figger out socket programming and its freeking due on wednesday.
OMG.  OMG.  i have a stomach ache.  okay.. ferget it.  u've programmed
b4  OMG.  

oh on the topic.. my dingy is cdrom/dvd oh wait never mind.  does freeBSD 6.1
handle dvd?  can i burn dvd instead? oh well never mind that we need to
have java here. that is all that matters that is all that is urgent.

on supfiles:  i know what they are but it is a damned *@#& ball of wax.  
gives me a stomach ache.  i know there are those default ones but
i feel like i need to take a course on it or something.  rudy told me
i should upgrade the OS with cdrom .. oh is that why u brought it up
srgilani? well.. if we don't need to do it i don't want to.  i'll have to
figger out how to burn the iso agin rudy burnt me all my freeBSD
installation disks.  i don't have time to struggle with that i need
to struggle with java.  i know we will get there (unlike that ACPI
nightmare that is one of my older dingies on here.  i notice now there
is this big "ACPI project" on freeBSD somewhere.  is that what
they call bleeding edge?  i don't even know wtf ACPI is anyway.
shine that nonsense.  

okay.   maybe i wasn't clear.  i had to retake the writing section of the CBEST.

i am not planning to reinstall my OS.  i need to make java werk.

okay.  now i am just being unecessarily redundant.  sorry.

the steps i have given will reinstall cvsup not the os.

these ppl r a bunch of losers.  how do i cancel my points?

to install package in ports collection you have to do these steps.

/usr/ports/java/jdk14
then
you have to first create make and config by typking make
make
then run installation like this
make install

yer wrong.

too late.  u failed.

i had to pkg_add diablo-blah-blah.tgz

i was missing a doodad as can be seen in my above posts.
i had to pkg_add that and the guy gave me this long url thingy.
i know how to make install i tried that and i told you i tried that and
you didn't listen.  make does not werk with no Makefile  there was
no makefile there was no /usr/ports/java/jdk14 i created the directories
but that is nothing.

i already said this and you didn't listen.,

please kill this question these ppl are broken record losers

in order to function, u have to listen to what a puter says.  one guy on here said "give it in english, give an explanatin"


BAH!

this is what MY puter said.  MY puter is not YER puter.  u have to LISTEN to function.

LISTEN ONCE AGAIN if u expect to accomplish squat

i was missing this.  it had to be replaced.  i didn't know the URL for javavmwrapper-2.0_6 but some other guy
werked.   i didn't have an java Makefiles u didn't tell me which link i don't know.  maybe u run linux u
r talking out yer butt because this is freeBSD.;

i have accomplished my installation and maybe one guy who said "pkg_add" deserves like 50pts because
that was a small part of the answer for me.  it didn't occur to me that pkg_add  can take a *.tgz file
argument because the only way i have encountered pkg_add is with -r and it automatically goes on the netwerk.  my
friend rudy did pkg_add so fast i didn't see what was happening.

okay that was u srglaalilia   but yer suggestion about ports was bunk.  you didn't listen to what i said.
my system had no ports.  yer solution never werked i tried it the first time u suggested it.
i now have java (i hope) but it was a guy who emailed me from eyesbeyond who fixed it.
he told me i could do the command pkg_add *.tgz i thought i could pkg_add -r java and that
would just go on the netwerk  it werked fro pkg_add -r eboard.  i told u there was something wrong
with cvsup or something and that i didn't have time to debug that mess.  i have freeBSD 5.4 and no
more recent CDs to werk with and no impetus to get into a long rigamarole trying to figger out
how to burn a freeBSD OS when i have never done it when at the same time this freeking
assignment is hanging over my head plus i am a substitite teacher for 4 hours every morning.

make will not werk with no makefile so u needed to tell me how to get the makefile in there but i tried
that yer solution didn't werk.  u can have 50 pts for saying "pkg_add" but i needed more information
than that.

i consider this question deleted.

Which really makes me think your system is partially trashed.  Again, your
options are to reinstall or keep going and recreate the symlinks as needed.

So, somehow your libz.so.3 symlink has gotten trashed.  That and the
fact that you reported /usr/ports mysteriously disappeared earlier makes
me think your system is at least partially hosed.  What I would do at
that point is probably reinstall unless I was confident that I hadn't
buggered up something else important.  If you want to keep going then,
as root, you need to do something like this:

cd /usr/lib
ln -s libz.so libz.so.3

and then try again.

to resolve your issue you have to follow these steps.

first you have to install cvsup (best to do is install from your bsd cd packages)

once your cvsup is install and working , then you have to do a port upgrade after that you will be able to install java from /usr/ports/lang/jdk.

if you dont want to do these then another easiest way is go ftp://www.freebsd.org
then in i386 and then find update port tgz or gz file.
download it and unzip it in /usr  it will decompress ports their and from that you can also do the rest of port install process.

i think somebody else helped me with this.  i burned 6.1 disks and did upgrade from the sysinstall bootup.
i'll give you the points for goodwill since the problem is already solved.

if u want to give me a little schpiel about supfiles that would be good.  i know about
cvsup and i think i have run it once, but i know the supfiles are in this directory somewhere it is
posted on my other question.  i understand that they have some examples i ferget the exact
command but dont you run cvsup with the supfile argument or something?  those supfiles
look like a bear to me so if u said something that would boil it down and make me more
confident about googling how to edit supfiles then i will give you the points.

how about that?  i don't care if i need to debug yer solution then like i usually do. i'm
not going to actually implement what you say i just want to log it into the carbon based
harddrive in my cranium for possible future use.

oh they're all hashed out? hmm..

otay

Thank you for points.

Also you can get new supfiles from freebsd ftp site.

ftp.freebsd.org
