I had to install the necessary libmach.so and libpthread*.so from Tru64 into /compat/osf1/usr/shlib (along with the osf1 emulators port, of course). I also had to install pdksh, and slightly edit the .java_wrapper script. Ultimately, when trying to run java, I would simply get a "Bad system call" error, and that was that. Apparently our osf1 kernel module doesn't (yet?) support Tru64's pthread system calls, so we're out of luck. Unless somebody knows something I don't! -Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
