Yes. It's the correct behaviour, though. If you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH then you always have to keep in mind that it is used by both FreeBSD and Linux mode. Since both the FreeBSD and the Linux mode ldconfig(8) work, you don't need it most of the time. > BTW, I noticed that http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/linuxemu.html still > has lots of information on 2.1-STABLE.

If I wasn't so swamp in other activities, I would have updated the docs myself, but I don't think I have the time for that in the near future. It would be great if you could come up with something. -- Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
