Hi,

I am trying to install JDK 1.6 in FreeBSD 7.0 and here's what's wrong:

I used the command:

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk16 && make install clean

and it told me to manually download 5 files and put them in 
/usr/ports/distfiles/. The files where:

jdk-6u3-fcs-bin-b05-jrl-24_sep_2007.jar
jdk-6u3-fcs-mozilla_headers-b05-unix-24_sep_2007.jar
jdk-6u3-fcs-src-b05-jrl-24_sep_2007.jar
tzupdater-1_3_0-2007h.zip
bsd-jdk16-patches-3.tar.bz2

I could not find 1.3.0 of tzupdater as only 1.3.3 is available from sun 
website. So I downloaded tzupdater-1_3_6-2008c.zip instead and modified 
two entries in /usr/ports/java/jdk16/Makefile os it would look for 1.3.6 
instead of 1.3.0.

I runned the command "cd /usr/ports/java/jdk16 && make install clean" 
again and now it started unzipping some file. At some point it did a 
checksum on the 5 files I downloaded and everything was fine except for 
the tzupdater file. I get the following error message:

No MD5 checksum recorded for tzupdater-1_3_6-2008c.zip
No SHA256 checksum recorded for tzupdater-1_3_6-2008c.zip
No suitable checksum found for tzupdater-1_3_6-2008c.zip
Error code 1

and the installation aborts.

Any ideas how to fix my problem ?

Thanks!
