An ldconfig -r |grep libc on an 8.1 release system here returns: 0:-lc.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 Since the above error is complaining about an .so.6 version, I'm wondering if you might need either/and/or the linuxthreads port installed in addition to misc/compat6x. > Incidentally, the same exact i686 binary works just fine on my FBSD64-8.1 > laptop ... so what gives?

It would appear to me that the newer version you are trying to run has been built against a different, albeit older and out-of-date set of libraries. My guess is it was built against FreeBSD 6. I also believe if you were to install from ports it would be linking against pthread libs as opposed to the linuxthreads in the above error. Perhaps a closer examination and comparison against the FBSD64-8.1 that runs may show missing linuxthreads and compat6x? Just a wild guess on my part here. :-) -Mike
