did 1.3 build successfully? to get to jdk 1.5 I had to build the following packages first: jdk-linux-1.3.1_15.tgz jdk-1.4.2p2.tgz In that order. It's been a while, but my understanding is that each version needs the previous version as a prerequisite to build. are you using 3.8 ports tree? 3.9? -current? -stable? If you want help, post a more descriptive log of the build process you did as well as the error.
