Don't try and link a Linux library into a FreeBSD executable, though, unless the ABI is very simple. For example, a standalone crypto module that takes a buffer and a key would probably work; anything that tries to do any stdio or call libc functions that pass structures won't. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
