And well, it works! The install hung at the end, after its done everything, so I killed it, but after that I can run it with (seemingly) no problems.. (Except for the 2000 odd 'shared address space fork attempted' messages in my syslog) I only had a quick fiddle, but it started up everything fine and ran quite well.. The install was a pain tho, as I had to unpack the setup program (its a self extracting zip) and rename the libs in it to lower case and then add an LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to them, but apart from that it was OK. Its worth noting though, that eMusic which uses Linux threads doesn't work under emulation (it just hangs) I think I'll boot a non-SMP kernel and have a go ('cause it took me an hour to find all of the $!@$ dependancies it needs because Linux ldd doesn't work anymore) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
