The default in FreeBSD 7.2 doesn't support TLS (the (**) error above). To do this, do the following: * Remove Matlab and all linux* ports you have installed. pkg_delete linux\* * Add this line to /etc/sysctl.conf: compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16 * Matlab probably also needs linprocfs mounted, so add this line to /etc/fstab if it isn't there yet: linprocfs /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 * Reboot. * Add these two lines to /etc/make.conf: OVERRIDE_LINUX_BASE_PORT=f10 OVERRIDE_LINUX_NONBASE_PORTS=f10 * Install emulators/linux_base-f10. * Install f10 versions of the linux* ports if you need them, e.g. instead of graphics/linux-png install graphics/linux-f10-png if you need it. * Install Matlab. You'll still have the SSE2 error, but the TLS error should be gone.
