|From: graichen@omega.physik.fu-berlin.de (Thomas Graichen) |: I run 'Mathematica 2.2 for Linux (x86)' on |: FreeBSD-stable and everything including the x front end |: (mathematica and mathbook) work just fine. Rich | |could you please send a short report about what is required to get ot working |? Sorry if this is a repeat from what was mentioned on FreeBSD-hackers, but since you asked here, here's the scoop.. Each of the programs (math, mathematica and mathbook) are shell scripts which in turn invoke the binaries. In each of these I added the following at the head of the script: RESOLV_HOST_CONF=/compat/linux/etc/host.conf; export RESOLV_HOST_CONF XKEYSYMDB=/usr/site/math22/lib/X11/XKeysymDB; export XKEYSYMDB where /compat/linux/etc/host.conf can be created using: echo 'order bind,hosts' > /compat/linux/etc/host.conf or just 'order hosts' if you aren't using DNS. /usr/site/math22/lib/X11/XKeysymDB is a file that came with mathematica. Your directory layout may be different and you'll have to find it and adjust accordingly. The binaries are staticly linked, so you don't have to obtain any runtime libraries for them. Rich
