I tried the Linux TAR version first which has an installer that makes the symlink for you. Incidentally, the Linux version gave exactly the same "abnormal termination: (null)" error. You are running the FreeBSD native version, aren't you? If it's the Linux one the fix that I found in the -current mail archive: 1. move or rename /usr/compat. 2. Start compupic (it will start OK now). 3. Exit compupic 4. Move /usr/compat back into place. 5. Run compupic (it will continue to run OK now) > - kevin > > On Thu, 23 Sep 1999, Brett Taylor wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > On Thu, 23 Sep 1999, Gianmarco Giovannelli wrote: > > > > > I am not able to run it : > > > > > > gmarco:/usr/tmp/compupic# ./compupic [any options] > > > compupic: abnormal termination: (null) > > > > > This is my env: FreeBSD gmarco.eclipse.org 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD > > > 4.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Sep 20 09:40:42 CEST > > > > I have the same problem here on my 3.2-STABLE machine. > > > > Brett > > ***************************************************** > > Brett Taylor brett@peloton.runet.edu * > > Dept of Chem and Physics * > > Curie 39A (540) 831-6147 * > > ***************************************************** > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > > with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message -- STATE-OF-THE-ART: Any computer you can't afford.
