Yeah, and were it not for Maple's explicit complaints about wanting ld-linux.so.1 I might be in good shape. As for installing both, I get tons of complaints when installing off the ports because 6 and 7.1 have different versions of glibc and then the ports makefile quits: [snip] So it would seem communicator-4.79 is branded svr4 by default from the ports, it will not execute under linux_base7.1 branded as either svr4 or linux. It will run under linux_base6 with either svr4 or linux brands if svr4.ko is unloaded, but must be branded linux if svr4.ko is loaded. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Just to clarify, I mean that using portupgrade will (hopefully, and in my experience, almost always) take care of your dependencies during the upgrade process, thus saving you from the IMO less preferable alternative of running more than one version of a port. Have you tried portupgrade with linux_base (after a backup of the old linux_base port skeleton and installation of the new one) to see whether Maple is happy? RE the svr4 stuff, that is way beyond my ken - I'll happily leave it to you and Mr. Nelson. :) Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
