Frequently fallen into trap #2 New user of FreeBSD experiments with the Linux emulation package. The new user copies the Linux shared libraries 'lib*.so.4' into /usr/lib. The new user happily plays with Linux binaries. Then one horrible day comes when they reboot and try to compile something on FreeBSD natively. Much evil then transpires. The telltale sign are link errors involving the crt0 module. Again, I've walked people out of this trap one too many times :-) The solution is to get rid of the 'lib*.so.4' files in /usr/lib and make them reboot (if they can!!). Then put the linux shared libraries in some other spot (like /usr/linux/lib). Regards, Mark Hittinger Netcom/Dallas bugs@freebsd.netcom.com
