X-Sender: charles@juniper.sweetshade.net To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-id: MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 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.... -- Charles Allen -- ccallen@swbell.net -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
