I recently installed FreeBSD  6.1, and copied many Unix files with no
problems at all.  However when I try to run the C compiler which worked =
fine
with Unix, I get the error message '/usr/bin/cc Exec format error  =
Binary
file not executable'. I tried changing permissions and owner with no =
change.
Any suggestions or won't the unix C compiler not work with FreeBSD?
