It's both, but I installed the a.out binaries because I wasn't sure about FreeBSD's support of ELF at this time. Would I have better luck running the ELF version? >> I've also run the /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig. But still executor gives >> me this same error.

No it didn't, but then again I got a copy of libdb.so.2 from RedHat so I didn't think I would need a symlink since I have the file. Also, according to the info on libdb versions after 1.86 are not compatible with versions before 1.85, 1.85 is what FreeBSD ships with. But even with the libdb.so.2 in the directory executor still errors out. ? -Sean ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sean J.
