So apparently you already had linux-base installed when you did the fresh install. Gimp is native anyway unless you were using a Linux binary for some strange reason. Acroread and WP are Linux binaries only. > Did I need to install linux_base to make Star Office work? If you already had WP and acroread working then no - it was already installed. Do an "ls /var/db/pkg". Do you have multiple versions of linux-base installed? If so, pkg_delete them both, and reinstall (you probably overwrote things when installing and now have a mix-mash of stuff. You also need to get rid of the links you made before - even if gdb says it's /usr/lib, the linux compatibility layer automatically feeds it to /compat/linux/lib Brett ***************************************************** Dr. Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * Dept of Chem and Physics * Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics * Walker 234 (540) 831-5410 * ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
