It looks like all your linux binaries got branded to the wrong type (svr4 instead of Linux), so the svr4 layer grabbed them first if it was loaded. Try this: find /compat/linux -type f -perm +a+x -ls | xargs brandelf -t Linux , which should rebrand all the Linux binaries to Linux. It shouldn't be necessary though. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
