I *think* I've heard/read that the AMD64 version of FreeBSD doesn't feature 'Linux compatibility'. Perhaps that's where your issues come from. No idea why a binary distribution of a Linux version would have worked, but perhaps that was just coincidence?!? Either way, please don't come down too hard on me if I'm way off base here; as the above is purely based on hearsay and my own speculation... Cheers! Olafo
