I tried compiling them from what must be Linux distributions with no success yet. The closest I've come is with ascpu: paz:~[102] ascpu & [1] 10084 gw.apriori.net:~[103] kvm_open: /dev/mem: Permission denied ascpu : cannot open kvm [1] Exit 1 ascpu The documentation for ascpu says: "Notes: Avatar Liang points out: The FreeBSD version uses the kvm_XXX functions. Using these functions requires 'kmem' group privilege. Therefore the ascpu binary must setgid to kmem." Not being well-versed in compiling stuff, this has me stumped. +x+x+x+x+x+x+x+ asload just gives me a floating exception: paz:~[101] asload & [1] 10083 paz:~[102] [1] Floating exception asload +x+x+x+x+x+x+x+ If someone wouldn't mind helping me through these and guiding me through the ports process, I'd be happy to turn back in whatever is successfully built. cheers - -- Philip. philip zimmermann paz@apriori.net www.apriori.net ayer, ma usa To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
