A year ago I bought a CD with your 2.1.5 FreeBSD Unix system and got it installed. Especially the Handbook gave many good hints and was extremely helpful. I found there the chapter about the Linux Emulation and was able to run a.out-format programs. But I failed with ELF. Now I bought a 4-CD set from Walnut Creek ( dated November 1997 ) with version 2.2.5. and Greg Lehey's "The Complete FreeBSD". After a reinstallation I have the same problem with ELF. The message is : " ELF unknown binary format. Error trap." If I give a Linux-ldconfig -v command I see the word ELF mentioned in the first column of the list of Library names. Can you give a hint what I do wrong ? I was not able to locate till now the ( fine ) Handbook on the CDs. So I followed the steps in Lehey's book. Sincerely yours.
