Our main server architecture here is FreeBSD, but unluckily we need Linux software because there are no appropriate Fortran F90 compilers and Delphi compilers for FreeBSD. We got Kylix now and Kylix is Delphi 5/6 for Linux. Borland offers a compatibility testprogram for the installation of KYLIX and I checked our systems with that. I found out that the glibc was buggy and Borland offers a patched version - I installed that patched version for RedHat 6.2 and the pretest software checked and said all things are all right. So far. I prepared our master server for the installation and mounted the cdrom within the /compat/linux-tree and then did a 'chroot /compat/linux', checked by uname on which system I'am and got 'Linux'. Running setup.sh the first time reported lots of errors due the lack of awk,whereis,more and cat, so I had to install the mfirst and unluckily got them from a SuSe 7.0 system and I think this uses a newer glibc 2.2 instead of the glibc 2.1. The error I get is shown beneath. My question is, how to get the lacking runtime images of these programs? They are not in the linux_base port. And what is about a complete Linux-Installation in the /compat/linux tree? Is it possible to install a Linux-basic distribution, like RedHat 7.1 in the /compat/linux tree and run all Linux software by the FBSD emulation? -------------------------------- Borland Kylix System Compatibility Test Checking loader....OK Checking kernel >= 2.2....OK Checking libc >= 2.1.2....OK Checking libjpeg >= 6.2.0....OK Looks GOOD !!!
