I have a Linux binary that I would like to try out.  When I launch it, I
get the following:

sh: free: command not found

This is from the binary itself, not a shell script.  I believe there is
a program on Linux systems called free, which checks available memory.
I am surprised it is not in the linux_base port.  How can I work around
this?

Thanks.
