java install asking for XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5

[John Page]

Hi,

I am trying to play it safe and installing:

the official Diablo (jdk1.3.1)
on a FreeBSD4.8 OS

Despite my conservative specs, the java installation is asking for:
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5

All of the freeBsd packages for FreeBSD 4.8 on the mirror sites only go as
high as:
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_1

I see Xfree86-version 5 on FreeBSD 5.0 package lists but am apprehensive
about putting a package for the 5.0 OS on a 4.8 OS.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  -
My options seem to be:
1.) install  XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_1 and receive a warning from the java
install
2.) install  XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 and make the java install happy but
run it on a 4.8 OS

This must be a common issue. Does anyone have any thoughts or advice?

John
