Okay, the part that's confusing me here is something that was partially
covered by Dan Nelson earlier in this thread.  I can tell you're running
64-bit FreeBSD (amd64).

The "Winpower" (whatever that is) program is 32-bit.


The diablo-jre1.6.0 port, when you installed it, is using a 64-bit
libjava.so.

You're trying to use a 32-bit Java program (Winpower) using 64-bit Java
sources (Diablo).  Dan's comments indicate this won't work.

Note that there is a compatibility layer available called lib32,
allowing 32-bit programs which use 32-bit libraries to use /usr/lib32,
on a 64-bit machine.  lib32 is part of the FreeBSD base system and is
built with world.

You're going to need a 64-bit version of Winpower, or you're going to
need a 32-bit version of Diablo.  I'm not sure how you can get the
latter; there may be a way in the ports tree to force a 32-bit build on
a 64-bit machine.

You could also reinstall FreeBSD i386 (not amd64), which should
ensure everything on your machine is 32-bit.
