Re: Static Site generation question... SOLVED!

[Bryan Albright <br...@darth-vader.org>]

On a hunch, took a look at my java installation...

I had the linux emulation of JDK 1.4.2 installed, but not the native
FreeBSD JDK.

I spent the last 2.5 hours installing that, and wiz-bang-boom, the
forrest installation completed in 30 seconds.

Special thanks to Ross for jumping in and keeping me going.
