This happens with either compiled-in linux emulation or the dynamically-loaded kld one. We know that the linux emulation is loaded and basically works (e.g. acrobat reader works just fine with no changes, and after I've started acroread the customer's program still fails). The headers of his elf file and acrobat's look nearly the same, with the string "/lib/ld-linux.so.1" being exactly the same. I don't know if the customer's program might be exec'ing some other and the error message getting faked out? I suspect not since the error message comes out instantly. Is there some difference in the fact that bsd is using ELF itself that makes something strange (it *is* putting the compat path in the error message, so it seems as if the linux-recognition works). The same binary (md5 checks) works fine in 2.2.7 and 2.2.8 with dynamically loaded linux emulation (on two different machines). The ld-linux.so.1 and linux libraries look the same (length and date only; not md5 (yet)). -- Pete To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
