With a great interest I tried to follow up the improvements in the Linuxulator and Linux comptibility to ensure that in case of need of Linux software FreeBSD could 'fallback' to the emulation of Linux. We use several Linux packages we didn't get native FreeBSD offers, like StarOffice 5.2, Netscape6, Portland Group PGI Fortran compiler, NCAR graphics libraries and several other stuff. One great outstanding package is KYLIX from Inprise. Since the first release of KYLIX we try to run KYLIX on our FBSD platforms, but without success. Using linux_base 6 means patching glibc and other libraries before entering installtion routine, with linux_base 7 installation runs smooth while other software packages which depends on development stuff fails. We now got KYLIX 2 to interoperate with Delphi 6 in many academic projects, but KYLIX still won't start (all machines running FreeBSD 4.5-RC as cvsupdated a three days ago). I reported in the past about the error occurs when starting, the kernel reports about an unknown ioctl call in the Linuxulator. Is anyone out here who has fixed the problem? I has been asked whether KYLIX 2 runs on FBSD 5.0, but I do not have a suitable platform so if there is someone out here who has successfuly tested it, please report me. Thanks a lot.
