Hi there! I'm currently working on a port of PC-BSD for AMD64 systems. Everything looks and works great, but i've run into a snag with running x86 binaries on the platform. All the kernel options for compat are enabled, and some simple "C" programs will run, but if I try to run a bigger program, with QT for X, then I get errors like this: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/X11R6//lib/libqt-mt.so.3: unsupported file layout I figure this is because the libraries are compiled for x64, and the binary is x86. No big deal. I then have attempted overriding the library path by setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to some alternate directory with the x86 libraries in it. This does not work also, matter afact, it completely ignores the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable like it doesnt exist. I've messed with the ldconfig program also, but can't quite seem to figure this one out. Is there another LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable that 32 bit binaries look for? Or is it even possible to do what i'm attempting here? -- Kristofer Moore
