Yes, when you say that, I recall a little hack is neccesary. Basically, the port wants to do 2 things which cannot be done inside a jail. (1) Set the sysctl "kern.fallback_elf_brand" to 3 (LINUX_ELF) (2) Make a a /dev/null device inside the linux chrooted environment. The first is obvious to accomplish, simply set it outside the jail. Sysctls are global. So to do this, you'd simply write: sysctl -w kern.fallback_elf_brand=3 Then, you comment out this code in the linux_base-7 Makefile, which I believe is located at line 136 and 150. The second is slightly more tricky, but shouldnt be any problem. make a directory called /compat/linux/dev inside the jail, chdir to it and write: mknod null c 2 2 Then, comment out this too in your Makefile (Line 130). Then, try installing it again and tell me how it works. :) > I think I already have linux_compat -- how do I install it from inside the jail?
