Anyone gotten IDL 5.2.1 going on FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE using the Linux
distribution? I had little or no problem with 5.1 on an earlier
FreeBSD. With the current combo, I've:
* Twiddled every shell script in bin/ that has the switch on `uname` to
have an additional
"FreeBSD") OS="linux";;
right below the "Linux") line.
* Made an idl_startup.sh that is a copy of idl_startup.ksh with 'alias
-x' changed to 'alias'. What does the -x do in ksh?
Now when I try to start idl I get
charles@juniper$ idl
/usr/local/rsi/idl_5.2/bin/bin.linux/idl: error in loading shared libraries
libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
even though the library really is around in a standard location:
charles@juniper$ locate libXp.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/aout/libXp.so.6.2
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6
I've got Linux compatibility turned on, via linux_enable="YES" in
/etc/rc.conf. It's my understanding that I don't have to recompile a
kernel with 'options COMPAT_LINUX' since that functionality can be
provided by a kernel module these days (/modules/linux.ko?).
I'm getting out of my depth at this point....
