Yep. I looked into the problem again and found that not much API/ABI changes happened betwen so.4 and so.6. This should simplify the thing actually since symbolic link (in some cases) will be sufficient. I have created special package which will try to resolve this and future incompatability problems and accumulate "the diff" between Nevada and Nexenta: $ dpkg -s nevada-compat Package: nevada-compat Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: utils Installed-Size: 12 Maintainer: Erast Benson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: solaris-i386 Version: 0.1 Depends: xserver-xorg-core Description: Solaris 11 (Nevada) compatability collection This package provide library-level compatability with Nevada bits. With this package installed, I can now confirm that macromedia flash player works out of the box. (debian package: flashplayer-mozilla). Sure, this solution do not resolve "compile X app binary on Nexenta run it on Nevada" problem. So, future work is required.
