FreeBSD laptop 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #35: Sun Mar  8 23:19:21 CST 2009     root@laptop:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386
>Description:
After installing games/frozenbubble, I can't start it. It says that "Bad System Call".
There's a fix in the pkg-message, but that's not suitable for FreeBSD 7.
I found that the problem is the function sem_init in libc.
I've written a very simple C program, just used sem_init, and it also says "Bad System Call".
The last line of ktrace before SIGSYS said that "Function not implemented".
It seems like that it's caused by syscall ksem_init, but I don't know more.
But if I compile with -pthread, there's no problem at all.
So I started frozen-bubble successedly with
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so frozen-bubble
So please add this into pkg-message. This workaround is in fact the same as the one in the pkg-message, but changed for FreeBSD 7.


>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install frozenbubble on FreeBSD 7-STABLE
2. Start it
>Fix:
env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so frozen-bubble
