Yep, I think this probably takes care of step 1 and possibly 3b, although the message that Wouter gets is making me think that for some reason the port has *not* run brandelf on the executables - if brandelf had been run, wouldn't the error message mention ELF binary type 3, not 0? So I went ahead and included all the steps, just to cover all bases :) G'luck, Peter --=20 Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@cnsys.bg roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 What would this sentence be like if pi were 3? --+jhVVhN62yS6hEJ8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDKs7+7Ri2jRYZRVMRAiWHAJ9+nZTluHa1u56UjaLXPrMyCDM6uQCgxtiV vzQ0z0wXzoAO1fz9AzmFojk= =3K7c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --+jhVVhN62yS6hEJ8--
