I run FreeBsd 3.2 on my PC and would like to know is there a way to link in those libraries. The linker does not recognize the libraries. I unarchived the .a and did a file on the .o files it says, "NetBSD/i386 position independent object file not stripped." Is there any compat pkg or linker option so that I can use the old libs.?? I have tried a couple of object format with -b options in ld but does not work. thanks nachi ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
