Next I have to do is to specify more exactly when and on whom this redirection should be done, so something like [azureus] libc.so.6 libc.so.7 I'm not very familiar with how the OS works in its deep core, so sometimes I struggle with the statement within the brakets. SOmetimes there must be the exact full path, sometimes not and I'm not aware whether simply the client needs to be 'redirected' to another library or java itself needs this remapping, too. Maybe one of the gurus herein can answer this. With the simple and dirty method, I can run azureus and I was able installing diablo jdk-15 on my freshly cvsupdated FreeBSD 7.0/amd64 box and until now, no crahs or other harassments occured.
