It's a "Linuxism". :-) Because it's a Linux program, you have to make sure that linprocfs is loaded. Usually it's mounted in /usr/compat/linux/proc, but the install script seems to expect cpuinfo in /proc (which is FreeBSD's proc), so it cannot be found. You can, however, mount the Linux procfs in /proc, everything should be working then. To get this state automatically after startup, add linproc /proc linprocfs rw 0 0 to your /etc/fstab. The call "cat /proc/cpuinfo" will work. Example: % cat /usr/compat/linux/proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 16 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz stepping : 9 flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 b19 b21 mmxext mmx fxsr xmm b26 b27 b28 b29 3dnow cpu MHz : 2018.20 bogomips : 2018.20 -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
