I've never used Linux emulation mode before, so I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall. If anyone has made this package run, I'd appreciate any advice. If not, I'd appreciate hearing about any faq's or documentation beyond the FreeBSD handbook. I've looked at it, and it didn't go far enough.

I was just struggling with building linux_base on an alpha running 4.7-RELEASE-p1. I'm getting the same errors. I've gone to the Red Hat site and found the current version of glibc-common is glibc-common-2.2.4-31.alpha.rpm. I don't really understand the details of ports but I tried finding the 'glibc-common' line in the Makefile and changing it to the current version. This (of course) broke checksums. I couldn't figure out how that worked but passed '-M NO_CHECKSUM=YES" to portinstall and tried again. The build progressed up to the point where it tried to kldload linux and then failed with a 'file not found' message. So now I'm stuck but maybe this is enough to make it easy for someone to fix?

For -current this should be done with GEOM. It is not only needed for CDROM drive access both also for all disk access except the VMWARE virtual disk. For -stable GEOM is not an option.
