I just installed:
linux_base-6.1 The base set of packages needed in Linux mode
on a recent (yesterday) Stable machine:
FreeBSD knock.econ.vt.edu 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #0: Wed Feb 16 11:09:54 EST 2000 root@knock.econ.vt.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/KNOCK i386
The port (or the port installer) seems to have knocked out much of my
ability to run Linux software. Acrobat (4.0) runs. An econometrics
package, stata, does not:
knock [rdmurphy]% which stata
/usr/local/stata/stata
knock [rdmurphy]% brandelf `which stata`
File '/usr/local/stata/stata' is of brand 'Linux'.
knock [rdmurphy]% stata
Bad system call(core dumped)
knock [rdmurphy]%
___ ____ ____ ____ ____ tm

Statistics/Data Analysis Stata Corporation

800-STATA-PC http://www.stata.com
409-696-4600 stata@stata.com
409-696-4601 (fax)
Stata was working fine just before I installed the port (I was running
some long routines in it while the "make all" was running).
Furthermore, I seem to have completely wiped out /compat/linux/usr/local:
knock [rdmurphy]% ls /compat/linux/usr/
X11R6 i486-linux-libc5 sbin
bin include share
dict info src
doc lib tmp
etc libexec
games man
I had, at least, a version of netscape installed there which ran quite
nicely:
knock [rdmurphy]% which netscape
/usr/local/bin/netscape
knock [rdmurphy]% less `which netscape`
#! /bin/sh
# script to run netscape
MOZILLA_HOME=/compat/linux/usr/local/netscape/communicator-v4.61
export MOZILLA_HOME
# CLASSPATH="$MOZILLA_HOME"/java/classes
# export CLASSPATH
# NPX_PLUGIN_PATH="$MOZILLA_HOME"/plugins
# export NPX_PLUGIN_PATH
exec $MOZILLA_HOME/netscape "$@"
The way I installed the port was:
cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/
make all
pkg_delete -v linux-base-5.2
make install
Does anyone have any recommendations about how to fix this? I'd
really like to get stata running again (and netscape would be nice
too).
Thanks-
Russ M.
