No. No. That's a real showstopper for using Linux 'binary only' database servers on a FreeBSD. > I know you can run a Linux cross-compiler on FreeBSD with Linux > emulation and get binaries that run under that emulation.

As far as dbiproxy protocol doesn't require binary libs we could connect to the oracle from a FreeBSD box to do some selects :) -- Alex Kapranoff, Voice: +7(0832)791845 67 days before the brand new millenium...
