I've noticed something peculiar about building -current and using utilities built under a prior kernel. I did the build of -current using a 2.1R kernel, since I couldn't build the new kernel without the new suplementary utilities and libraries. After building and rebooting the new kernel, I notice that some ports (specifically joe) and even some system programs (like fortune) now fail with an "Exec format error. Wrong Architecture" error. If I do a file on them, I get "/usr/games/fortune: data". I've tried recompiling the apps under -current, but they still fail. Is this related to the branching at 2.0.5, meaning that I built 2.2-current under a kernel from a branch that didn't directly precede it ? Is there a solution that will let me run these applications? (fortune I could care less about, joe... well let's just say that my new year's resolution is not to use vi any more than necessary.) j. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- James FitzGibbon jfitz@io.org ...
