Hi, please don't put two questions in one mail! It makes it hard to find and to answer the mails... On 23-May-97 at 20:11:45 New User wrote: >-- [ From: New User * EMC.Ver #2.5.02 ] -- > >1.

[I >think that this could *not* be the reason.] Yes, you're right. 12k _is_ too little memory ;-) Where are you when you type "make"? In /usr/src or in /sys/i386/compile/WHATEVER? Could you send the complete error mesasge and the output of your df to the list? We need to know what file it's compiling and so on... > >2.

What is the error you get when you run the programms. If they're looking for libraries, you will have to install the linux-libs package. If they're "unknown ELF type", you need to use "brandelf -t Linux", see "man brandelf". If the Linux binaries are not ELF type at all, they won't run under FreeBSD. Which answers the second part of the second question: ELF binaries run equally fast on comparable systems.
