Binary compatibility > with 3.x - Why doesn't 4.x automatically support 3.x binaries? It does support 3.x binaries but you also need all the libraries that the binaries were (dynamically) linked to. (Statically linked binaries does not need any extra packages.) Since some of these libraries have been changed since 3.x in a non-compatible manner one might need an older version of some libraries. The reason why these are not installed by default is to avoid wasting disk space for people who don't need them. >=20 > TW> Lykke til! > Close, but I'm Danish :) Lykke til are Swedish (held og lykke - is the > Danish version). Nah, 'Lycke til' is not Swedish either. Norwegian maybe. In Swedish it would have been 'Lycka till'. --=20 Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
