FreeBSD does a pretty good job of running binaries from other x86 Unix systems, but unless you know what Unix system they were written for/compiled on, that doesn't do you very much good. If you can find out which Unix they were written on, and which compilers they used, it would go a long way towards helping others help you solve the problem. The ideal solution would be to get a copy of that Unix and that compiler to work with. Failing that, you want things as close as possible to those things, and someone with a little experience porting things. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
