Did you rm -rf /compat/linux before > installing linux_base-5.2? What is your FreeBSD version? etc etc etc > Arrgh! I've just had a bad thought. Did I really need to install linux_base at all? My system was originally built clean (i.e. not installed over a previous version of FreeBSD) from the 3.1 CDs. I included Linux support/emulation when I installed. Gimp, acroread, WP, Netscape all worked fine, now none of them work. A couple of weeks ago I cvsup'd to 3.3-STABLE. The Linux programs still all worked. Did I need to install linux_base to make Star Office work? I only installed it because I was following the instructions at http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html that someone posted. Is linux_base only meant for systems which don't already have Linux support installed and therefore I've just trashed a perfectly good working system? After, Star Office is just another Linux program. > -- > Marcel Moolenaar mailto:marcel@scc.nl > SCC Internetworking & Databases http://www.scc.nl/ > The FreeBSD project mailto:marcel@FreeBSD.org -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
