hey in the handbook its says

"
Installing Linux ELF binaries 
ELF binaries sometimes require an extra step of ``branding''. If you attempt to run an unbranded ELF binary, you will get an error message like the following; 

    % ./my-linux-elf-binary
    ELF binary type not known
    Abort

To help the FreeBSD kernel distinguish between a FreeBSD ELF binary from a Linux binary, use the brandelf(1) utility. 

    % brandelf -t Linux my-linux-elf-binary
"

well i did that but i got this error :-(
"
ELF binary type "Linux" not known.Abort trap
"
what shall I do?
