Message-ID: <20010506164243.A54044@wit379119.student.utwente.nl> Reply-To: niek@bergboer.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, The installation of the commercial product Matlab R12 under FreeBSD works perfectly with the Linux ABI, thanks to whoever coded up this ABI! The single remaining problem is that Matlab expects to find a Linux-like /dev/ptmx (a pseudo terminal master mux). Failure to find this device results in a running Matlab that is unable to execute external commands. Is there any equivalent BSD device (so that I can symlink /dev/ptmx to that), or did I miss a kernel configuration option? Thanks, Niek PS: I run FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE, version of three days ago, on a dual Celeron SMP system. -- Conscience doth make cowards of us all. -- Shakespeare To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
