I am trying to run a Linux binary under FreeBSD,
% uname -a
FreeBSD pc252.scitec.com 2.2.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Dec 23 12:12:55 EST 1998 cjc@pc252.scitec.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/PC252 i386
However, I get the following error when I start the executable,
% stk
[1] 6595
ELF binary type not known
[1] Abort trap /home/agi/STKv4/bin/bin.linux5.i386/stk
Note that the 'stk' I am calling is a csh script that executes the
binary producing the errror.
I am, by no stretch of the imagination, any expert on Linux emulation,
but I had a look at the begining of the Linux binary,

I noticed that I did not have a /compat/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2 file,
but rather 1.7.14. A few other libraries farther down in the binary
were also one version up. I updated the Makefile in my 2.2.7
/usr/ports and got the latest linux_lib distribution in which the
numbers match up. However, this has not changed anything. I still get
the unknown ELF complaint.
Do I need to update my Linux emulation module for the kernel? How
would I do that? Would I be best off upgrading the whole kernel? Do I
need to go to 2.2.8 (not too much of a problem from my 2.2.7 system)?
Or would I need to go to 3.0 to run this Linux binary?
Thanks for any help. BTW, should this move to the emulation list? I
went here since this is not really a 'development' issue.
