For the most part Ziggy chugs along quite well as my backup internal webserver and dns slave. uname -a -> FreeBSD ziggy.xaerolimit.net 7.3-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE-p3 #8: Sun Oct 24 01:53:03 EDT 2010 root@ziggy.xaerolimit.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ZIGGY i386 This evening I was fixing the very old seti@home client that the machine has been chugging with for like 5 years now. The machine started out as a FreeBSD5 install and has been progressively upgraded over the years to it's current incarnate. While trying to use the client from this ( http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_6.10.58_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh) I get the following error [seti@ziggy ~]$ ./BOINC/run_client --attach_project http://setiathome.berkeley.edu be1dc44b8692b798473781a73c1944b7 --daemon ./boinc: /lib/obsolete/linuxthreads/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by ./boinc) [seti@ziggy ~]$ Incidentally, the same exact i686 binary works just fine on my FBSD64-8.1 laptop ... so what gives? I don't remember seeing a readily available GLIBC solution in ports. Did you know... If you play a Windows 2000 CD backwards, you hear satanic messages, but what's worse is when you play it forward.... ...it installs Windows 2000 -- Alfred Perlstein on chat at freebsd.org
