I have some in-house CAD/Grid-generation coding that I normally use on my various linux boxen. The code is compiled on a CentOS 5.n VM, & runs on all of my other boxen OK. I want to run it under FBSD 9.3 as well. I tried to just execute it & I get the following: [wam@kabini1, ~, 2:55:35pm] 442 % ll -tr LIST /usr/local/bin/[B,P]* ; uname -a ; date -rw------- 1 wam users 309 May 4 2013 LIST -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15071 Jul 30 17:45 /usr/local/bin/POST* -r-xr-xr-x 1 wam wheel 11197704 Aug 27 08:40 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.SSE4.1.TEST.static* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 27 Aug 27 09:17 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.TEST.static@ -> PreBFCGL.SSE4.1.TEST.static lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 30 Aug 27 09:17 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.TEST.static.R8@ -> PreBFCGL.SSE4.1.TEST.static.R8 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 20 Aug 27 09:18 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.TEST@ -> PreBFCGL.TEST.static lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 23 Aug 27 09:18 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.TEST.R8@ -> PreBFCGL.TEST.static.R8 -r-xr-xr-x 1 wam wheel 11211944 Aug 27 10:35 /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.SSE4.1.TEST.static.R8* FreeBSD kabini1 9.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE #0 r268512: Thu Jul 10 23:44:39 UTC 2014 root@snap.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 Wed Aug 27 14:55:39 CDT 2014 [wam@kabini1, ~, 2:55:39pm] 443 % PreBFCGL.TEST ELF binary type "0" not known. /usr/local/bin/PreBFCGL.TEST: Exec format error.
