That=C2=B4s the point. Binary packages are available for i386, but I guess = it=C2=B4s not possible to run them in FreeBSD. Maybe similar to OpenBSD where amd64 platform does not run i386 packages, as far as I know. Because of that, I thought about running binary packages (i386 also) from Linux using FreeBSD compat layer. Hope it will work. However, I wonder how Linux distributions do that! I have a Ubuntu desktop, amd64, running olvwm. We know xview is not availabe for 64-bit platforms, but applications based on it run perfectly in Linux. How come?! Best Regards.
