Hi, Earlier in the week I asked in anyone had any success on getting Applixware for Linux to run in emulation mode on FreeBSD. This is how I eventually got it working: - Install Linux emulation. - Check that simple executables for Linux work (e.g. bash, grep) - Install the Linux X11 libraries into /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib - Put /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH - Check that X executables for Linux work (e.g. xterm, xv) - Install Applixware. This might take some hacking, you might have to install the rpm files yourself (!) instead of letting the supplied script do it for you. I already had it installed on my Linux partition so I just made a symlink from /usr/lib/applix to /linux/usr/lib/applix. - Having installed Applixware in <applix-root>, make the directory /compat/linux/<applix-root>/axdata/axshlib - Make symlinks to the files in <applix-root>/axdata/axshlib from /compat/linux/<applix-root>/axdata/axshlib - Put /compat/linux/<applix-root>/axdata/axshlib in your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2-RELEASE Regards, -- Niall Smart Customer Engineering, IONA Technologies.
