Recently, Wayne Pascoe <wayne.pascoe@realtime.co.uk> (Message-Id: <86u20imt0t.fsf@pan.ehsrealtime.com>) asked a question about launching Netscape from Gnome and having problems with xalf. Joe Clarke <marcus@marcuscom.com> (Message-Id: <20010712103231.A22271-100000@shumai.marcuscom.com>) suggested recompiling xalf. Unfortunately, the problem is that you cannot mix emulation libraries with native objects and vice versa. What is happening here is that Gnome is trying to attach xalf dynamically to the executable being started, but since you are trying to start the linux netscape, the native xalf cannot attach to the linux binary. Does a linux emulation xalf exist? Or, how can you mix and match emulation styles? Does brandelf solve this problem? /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
