Hi Thanks a lot to all of you, who responded on my query. The solution was to install lib32 (I still wonder why I did de-select them during installation) as many of you pointed out. When I did this, the Netvault binaries could almost run, but they had problems finding their dynamic libraries, and after quite a lot of googling, I figured out, that I had to set LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH - that little, but crusial, difference took quite some hours to figure out. But after we got this knowledge, everything seems to work and we do now have Netvault on FreeBSD-7.2-amd64 (but it is an unsupported platform from Bakbone - come on, Bakbone, get up to speed!). A small wish is, that it would be wonderful if the FreeBSD handbook could be extended with a small chapter on how to run 32 bit binaries on 64 bit platforms - especially hints like LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH would be nice to know about... :-) But thanks guys - the FreeBSD community is the best!!
