On FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE the JDK i have problems, such as 

    ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libc.so.3.0"

i have no such libc on my box.  The readme says

	Q: Which version of FreeBSD does this work on?
	A: I run the -current version of FreeBSD, so that's the 
		only version which I've verified.

What version do i need to upgrade to to make this work?  'current'
changes doesn't it?

What is the lowest level release that jdk works on?   does anyone
know?  I'm not sure if i should go to 2.2 yet since it's still beta.
