Well, I'm not expert on this particular subject, but hopefully I can be of some help.

I thought you were wrong at first, but checking into it shows you are correct. Fortran77 is the latest supported. > I prepared our master server for the installation and mounted the cdrom First off, I wouldn't do anything more with the "master" server till you've got this sorted out. Set up a test server to work out the install unless you're willing to risk the "master" server having major problems! > My question is, how to get the lacking runtime images of these programs? > They are not in the linux_base port. Many of these are part of the FreeBSD distribution. You may have to simlink from the FreeBSD locations to the Linux compat directories. > And what is about a complete Linux-Installation in the /compat/linux tree? > Is it possible to install a Linux-basic distribution, like RedHat 7.1 in > the /compat/linux tree and run all Linux software by the FBSD emulation? Not sure, but if you read up on the linuxulator, it actually _is_ a RedHat install. > root: /cdrom/borpretest: cd ../ > root: /cdrom: ./setup.sh > ./setup.sh: tail: command not found Check the setup.sh script and find out where it's looking for "tail". A symlink may be all that's needed to fix this.

If so, symlinking or PATH modifications may fix this. > grep: /etc/issue: No such file or directory Ooh ... I'm no linux expert, but I think this file should contain kernel version numbers or something. Check with a linux distro to see what's in this file - you may be able to just copy it. > ELF binary type "0" not known. Hmmm ... read the man page for "brandelf", although I don't know what it _should_ be or even what file it's looking for. > The setup program seems to have failed on x86/glibc-2.1 Oh ... spoke too soon. That's a little bizaar. You may have to install glibc seperately and let it think it's running under Linux. You may also be able to brand it to make the install work. Hope this was helpful, I know it's not a lot of information. Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
