What version of FreeBSD is that? It's probably no longer necessary to type "linux" at the prompt (or it's out of date). If you type kldstat, you should see linux.ko. If not, as root, load the kernel module, linux, with the command kldload linux. Then kldstat should see it loaded. Then your linux stuff should work, without any special references to the linux compat stuff in /usr/compat/linux. So, you've done everything right, just something more to do.
