Hi Boris=0A=
=0A=
 (apologies for top-posting)=0A=
=0A=
 Thanks, I had to go this way in the end. My process was:=0A=
=0A=
 1. enable linux binary compatibility on freebsd.=0A=
 2. build a debian chroot environment using debootstrap=0A=
 3. obtain some binaries that I could not find in the debian package repos =
by extracting them directly from the from binary packages with rpm2cpio=0A=
 4. copy all the linux binaries to /usr/compat/linux/lib ... as per the Fre=
eBSD Handbook=0A=
 =0A=
  After that the binary works perfectly :-) FreeBSD Linux-Binary-Compatibil=
ity FTW!!!=0A=
