Hello,


I've just installed the emulators/linux_base-f10 port in order to run some 
rpm-based applications.
Various online manuals told me that one should not use the native freebsd rpm 
binary (archivers/rpm), but instead use the /compat/linux/bin/rpm. But there's 
no such rpm binary under /compat/linux tree. What am I doing wrong? XD

I'm running vanilla FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE, fresh ports tree.


TIA.
