The problem is generally that linux ports (Oracle, SAP, ...) depend for proper work on a Linux environment not just the libs. So where to start (just the libs) and where to end (the complete RH6.1)? FE: Usually I get best results in compatibilty (without too much hacking the shellscripts) when creating an linuxuser account with /compat/linux/bin/*sh as loginshell. But since the searchpaths are the ones under /compat/linux/* afterwards no native FreeBSD binaries are found unless specified exacly (/usr/bin/more instead of more)... Maybe the sollution could be putting the rpm's into (more) groups like on the FreeBSD CD's with some interactivity like the XFree port.
