Murphy" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Linux emulator Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am running FreeBSD 2.1R and have installed the linux compatibility libraries. Everything works fine for several pieces of software that I have tried so far, but I recently purchased a linux version of a statistics package that I would like to use called Stata. Stata installs and runs OK so far, but I get a couple messages from (I assume) the emulator and the keyboard interface is a little hokey. First, the messages: ----------------------- dunquin [~]% stata LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=0, typ=0x54(T), num=0x5 not implemented ___ ____ ____ ____ ____ tm /__ / ____/ / ____/ ___/ / /___/ / /___/ 4.0 Copyright 1984-1995 Statistics/Data Analysis Stata Corporation 702 University Drive East College Station, Texas 77840 USA 409-696-4600 409-696-4601 (fax) 800-STATA-PC stata@stata.com 2-user Linux(network) perpetual license: Serial number: LI-124048702 Licensed to: Russell D.

I looked for the source for linux_ioctl.c, but can only find linux_ioctl.o. 1) Does anyone know an easy way to deal with the problem described above? 2) Is this likely to be difficult, easy, something in between, . . ., to deal with if I try to address it myself? 3) Where might I find the source to linux_ioctl.c?
