Hi Francis,

I don't know anything about these messages, sorry. But that you have 
been asked to download files from Sun, sounds like you've downloaded a 
jdk.
I suggest to first have a well running java environment - you should 
accomplish that easy via ports java/jdk14 - or try make 
WITHOUT_JAVA=YES, if you don't need java. The build process takes 
about 5 (P4 2,4) to 13 (PIII 1000) hours.
