If I understand the above, then you compiled something on -current and you wanted it to run on release-4 and release-3. I do not think you can count on that. If you want a program to run on multiple releases, then you'll need to compile it on the lowest release, not on -current. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
