I've noticed that the Linux version reports the OS as "Linux 2.0.36" or something like that. Is there anything special that will make the Linux version of Netscape report the OS correctly? Maybe it should be doing `uname -srm` or something like that. It's really minor, but it's always nice to have your OS trumpeted proudly in your usenet headers.

Re: RealPlayer 7
I had many problems trying to get some of the linux emulation progrmas to run when I had a LD_LIBRARY_PATH set. The problem was that the linux executable was looking for libraries on the path list and finding a FreeBSD library and puking because it had a bad magic number. I just made sure my ldconfig was set right bot under FreeBSD & Linux emulation and did not set any LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Drove me nuts for half a week. -Charlie On Thu, Mar 16, 2000 at 05:35:43PM -0500, Donn Miller wrote: > Anyone get this beast to work on -current? The audio works, but the video > doesn't work at all.

There's a linuxthreads port, yes, but that's something which provides FreeBSD's compile-time environment with libraries which duplicate the Linux threading APIs. There's also the capability for Linux executables to use threads under emulation. That's there "out of the box" by default. The linuxthreads port is only necessary if you want to use "The Linux Way" of doing threads in a piece of software you're building for FreeBSD; It doesn't make much difference to emulation.

Maybe it's something I'm lacking in my kernel config. I noticed that I didn't have options _KPOSIX_VERSION=199309L in there. I've got all the other posix functions, though.
