Quoting Jung-uk Kim <jkim@FreeBSD.org> (from Tue, 26 Sep 2006 17:33:44 -0400): > I was little annoyed by linuxulator breakage on amd64, which fails to > run Acrobat Reader. (Well, actually it's not Acrobat's fault. It's > just that wrapper is failing. If you run 'sh /usr/X11R6/bin/acroread' > instead, it runs okay.) All seem to boil down to one problem: This is a known problem. It occured after a commit by jhb@ to the ipc stuff. Search the archives, I don't remember the exact details. So far nobody with an amd64 system was able to provide the necessary debug info to fix this. Maybe instead of playing with gdb/ddb/printfs it may be also possible to use the linux test project testcases to frind the problem. You can download a precompiled version of it from: http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/linuxolator/ltp-full-20060822-ready.tar.bz2 Have a look at http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/linux-kernel for a description how to use it and what tests are known to hang on i386 (they may or may not hand on amd64, and some of the tests are known to need a little bit of time). I suggest to do this in a gentoo-chroot (linux_dist port, not the linux_base port). Feel free to add content to the wiki. > * PS: I have modified ports/devel/linux_kdump to build without gentoo. > If anybody is interested, you can get it from here: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/linux_kdump.tar.gz > > I just added Linux header files as a patch. :-P I don't like this fix. Why not use the package from the build cluster instead?
