I am trying to install java on freebsd 7.X and i have done following thing so far

download the tar file from this link and store the file in 

cd /usr/ports/distfiles/

after that i run 

cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jre16 **or** cd /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk16 make config install clean

and uncheck all the options in config screen

now after doing all this now i am getting following message to indicate for amd version even if my server is using intel Core2Quad Q9550 2.83 GHz

mail# make install ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> License check disabled, port has not defined LICENSE ===> Found saved configuration for diablo-jdk-1.6.0.07.02_12 Because of licensing restrictions, you must fetch the distribution manually. Please access http://www.FreeBSDFoundation.org/cgi-bin/download?download=diablo-caffe-freebsd7-amd64-1.6.0_07-b02.tar.bz2 with a web browser and "Accept" the End User License Agreement for "Caffe Diablo 1.6.0". Please place the downloaded file(s) in /usr/ports/distfiles. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/java/diablo-jdk16. mail#

(as before i was getting error for tzupdater so i downloaded tzupdater-1_3_29-2010f.zip and put it in a cd /usr/ports/distfiles/ folder)

status updated

i have installed it successfully ( i guess) after downloading the amd package but now when i entered command 

cd /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/bin/

and then

java command

to check whether its being installed or not then it is showing me 

java: Command not found.

Though java is listed in that dir

  • AMD invented the 64-bit extensions to the instruction set used by your Intel processor, so they got named after AMD. It has nothing to do with the actual brand of your processor. Commented Feb 22, 2011 at 0:02

It's ok, if you installed 64-bit version. Intel uses same instruction set (exception is Itanium), so just download file mentioned in error message.

    try reading FreeBSD handbook: freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics.html In *nix commands searched only in $PATH, unlike DOS, where commands first searched in current directory and then in %PATH%. So if you want to run java type /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/bin/java or ./java after cd /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.6.0/bin/ Commented Feb 19, 2011 at 19:31
  • You sometimes have to logout/login to get your system to recognize that there are new binaries installed.. Commented Feb 22, 2011 at 0:02

The port should install the javavm wrapper, which installs links in /usr/local/bin. Thus, you should be able to type java -version anywhere.
