BLFS 8.1: JS-38.2.1 link appears bad
 

The link in the BLFS 8.1 book for the JD-38.2.1 (a javascript engine written in C) download appears to be bad. Can anyone confirm? Thank you.

I googled to work around that and discovered that there are many javascript packages (including one written in java, yikes), so that was not a help, at least for one wanting to use the exact one in the book. :o

Would help if you provided a link to the page from BLFS rather than make people search for the correct page, anywya can't find this "JD-38.2.1" thing, but do you mean this ?
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs...eral/js38.html

The site for this seems to be down, but as a last resort if you go to the downloads page on the blfs site:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/download.html
And scroll down you will find some links to archives at blfs itself, for instance:
ftp://ftp.lfs-matrix.net/pub/blfs/

You should be able to find what you want there, try not to use the blfs archives too much to save their bandwidth.

Well, I a dummy. How I typed JD when I meant JS I do not know. I am sorry for that. :( Yes, I meant JS. I will be editing the title of this thread accordingly.

Thank you: I was able to download and install it. Yay. :)
