Which can probably be solved by installing a Linux native lpr. What I mean is, there are two approaches: 1) modify the emulation as a whole (module and/or /compat/linux tree) so we fix a Linux/FreeBSD boundary case or 2) install the Linux tool and thus remove the boundary (and possibly create a new boundary case, of course). > People have ran into the problem here a couple of times when we first got > acroread running a long time ago. Things may have changed since then. No, I think boundary cases have always existed. The boundary is just constantly moving ;-) -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ Amsterdam, The Netherlands tel: +31 20 4200655 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
