Oh yeah, I also had to mkdir /var/local/lib/rpm first. Also, make sure that you start the Linuxulator. I use the LKM and start it with /usr/bin/linux (as root). Of course, you also have to install the linux_lib port to get the libraries, etc. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
