Problem with a linux program using java (on FreeBSD)

C

cell

Hi.
I have a problem installing a linux program on FreeBSD 7.2. I installed linux compatibility tool when I installed FreeBSD. The linux program that i want to install need jre (the program script run some .jar). I installed jre (diablo-jre-freebsd7.i386.1.6.0.07.02.tbz) from http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml, but it is jre for FreeBSD. I think I have to install jre for linux, because the linux program that i want to install doesn't work again. I tried to install linux-sun-jre16 and linux-sun-jre15 from ports, but without success.
For example, when i try to install linux-sun-jre16 ports i have this error (not copy/pasted, but handwritten, therefore there could be some error in copying):


Code: 
# make install clean

I read this error message although i did everything you can read in this message. :(
Can somebody help me?



P.S. Sorry for my English, if it's not perfect. ;) :beergrin
 
You can try going to Sun's java site and download that jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin file there.
Once downloaded copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles and start the install again.
 
As i have written, i did so. But the error message appears although i have put this file in the /usr/Ports/distfiles folder.
 
Are you sure? This line tells me it isn't:
Code: 
=> jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin doesn't seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.
 
I'm sure... for this reason this error seems really strange. If I install linux-sun-jre15 port the error is the same, but it ask me another version of that file. I obtained it and i put it in the /usr/ports/distfiles folder, but without success. :(
Moreover, in both the cases, if I remember well, when the file wasn't put in that folder yet the error message was similar, but not identical to the message that I reported.

I don't know what can I do. :(

Well, almost:

Code: 
=> MD5 [B]Checksum mismatch[/B] for jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin.
=> SHA256 [B]Checksum mismatch[/B] for jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin.

Cell, is your ports tree up-to-date?
 
Now I have run the following commands:
Code: 
pkgdb -a
portupgrade -R linux-sun-jre16

But the error that I obtain when i run "make install clean" is the same.
Did I make a mistake in updating?
 
Now I have updated my ports tree using portsnap. I have run the following commands:
Code: 
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract

But the result is the same. :(

Maybe (I think, but I don't know) the jre file in /usr/ports/distfiles is damaged. Is it possibile?

You really shouldn't need the linux JRE.

You're right. I don't know why, but now my program correctly works, without linux jre, but only using FreeBSD jre.
Thank you anyway! ;)
