You should undo any changes you made in the install script. To fix the expr error you have to create the following symlink: ln -s ../usr/bin/expr /compat/linux/bin/expr This is perhaps something the linux_base-f10 port should have done for you. To emulation@: Linux has expr under /usr/bin and FreeBSD has it under /bin, so running expr in a Linux shell picks up the FreeBSD version causing errors about unsupported command line options. It would be nice if the linux_base-f10 port created the symlink above to fix this. For the error about libXp.so.6, check if you have the port x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs installed. > I was wonder if I have to install FreeBSD_8 and KDE 4 ( as in new release > PC-BSD galileo 7.1) to solve problems of linux library compatibility or > just FreeBSD and after KDE4 (that seems the same)?? No, you'll have these same problems there.
