I have tried following the article in the handbook, but when I get to running the installer I get an error logged to console 1 (through syslog presumably) as follows: linux: modify_ldt needs kernel option USER_LDT Well, apparently FreeBSD's config file for the kernel doesn't seem to like that option. I do have SYSV semaphores, message ques, and shared memory options compiled in the kernel as stated in the handbook. From the xterm window when I try to run the Oracle installation: bash$ pwd /usr/compat/linux/home/oracle/downloads/Disk1 bash$ ./runInstaller Initializing Java VirtualMachine From ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux /bin/jre.
