I am trying NetBSD out (10.1 amd64). I installed it on a 128GB USB stick, and my hardware is 32GB + 2GB nVidia, i7, Intel BE200, RJ-45 too, and 2 TB nvme + 2TB SSD (filled with Windows and LinuxMint). After installation and some configuring, I ran desktop-installer and installed XFCE. Everything seems fine so far. But I began looking at how to install a linux QEMU/KVM/something guest so I could configure it to use the BE200 and then give NetBSD access to wifi, since there's no driver for it currently. (I saw the same type of system for FreeBSD, and figured I may be able to follow it and "transpose" the system to NetBSD). One page I came across said I needed to install Java. So I did a
Code:
pkgin search java*
, and found there is a lot of Java. So I tried the Oracle Java, the OpenJDK, kaffe, (separately), and expected I could execute
Code:
java --version
, and see the version. However, no such luck. Is there something weird about Java under NetBSD? I looked at man pages, but there's not much info in them. Please point me in the right direction. What should I be reading to get Java working? Thanks.
P.S.
Originally, I posted this in LinuxQuestions.org; they directed me here. I tried to compile suse15_base (make && make install), but it gave me errors:
Package suse_base-15.5nb1 has a denial-of-service vulnerability, see https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-8804
===> Installing for suse_base-15.5nb1
sh: cannot create /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/suse15_base/work/.stage-install_makevars.mk: permission denied

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/emulators/suse15_base
*** Error code 1

And not being a programmer, I don't even know where to begin with that.
Given my goal, do I even need Java? If so, how do I get it to where the command will work? Thanks.
