I have a problem with the Linux emulation; I am running 2.2.5-STABLE at CTM #501 and the COMPAT_LINUX option compiled into the kernel (bit of leftover from my 2.1.7 system). (2.1.7 means that I _once_ _ran_ 2.1.7 but reompiled virtually everything except Netscape... to 2.2.5.) I tried to install the linux_lib 2.4, and it tries to run the Linux ldconfig (ldconfig, I think) at the end of the make install process. When it tries to do this, it says "ELF: binary type not known, signal 6: ignored". The make install completes OK, though. Then I took the Linux StarOffice-3.1 rpm's from one PD CD that I've got, so I had to install the Linux Red Hat package manager that came with its own cpio for usage on older Linux systems. Of course, the first thing I got was "ELF: binary type not known". I take it there must be an error somewhere in my system because everybody is really praising the Linux emulation and on my system it doesn't even run ldconfig and cpio. This happens with or without the "linux" option enabled in rc.conf. What's wrong?
