Quoting Roman Divacky <rdivacky@FreeBSD.ORG> (from Thu, 12 Apr 2007 =20 11:58:11 +0200): >> Acroread will use linux system calls to start the shell. This results >> in the linux shell (/compat/linux/bin/sh) to start (linuxulator >> directory prefixing). The linux shell will use the same linuxulator >> directory prefixing to start /compat/linux/usr/bin/lpr. So we're in >> the same situation like with Acroread. So when you play around with it >> also try to not specify a path to the lpr call and tell us which one >> works. > > this is not entirely true (or I just read it wrong). it works like this > > any binary (fbsd or linux) can run any binary (fbsd or linux). its just th= at > when linux binary wants to run "xyz" it searches /compat/linux first and t= hen > falls back to / > > just a clarification I think you said the same than I did, just differently (Oliver did =20 call lpr with the full (correct?) path in acroread and somehow it =20 didn't work for him).
