The current linux_lib port is a bit woefully old. We support glibc binaries, but you need a new set of libs. It's hard to work out which ones we should have, and harder still because there's no real "owner" of our Linux emulation at this point in time. - -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
