Usually that happens automatically, so it's quite rare to actually have to type 'kldload linux.ko' The undefined symbol errors suggest that the OP is missing some important linux shlibs which should be installed in /compat/linux/usr/lib -- what linuxbase port have you installed, and what distro did you obtain those linux executables from?

Using RPM database is not supported since FreeBSD has its own package database for all applications including linux ones. Said that I don't mean it doesn't work. If you need to use RPM database to register applications that does not exist at ports you may give it a try. But the best way is to create ports for those applications and install them from ports. BTW, they really don't need to exist at the official portstree. You may place them, say, to /usr/ports/local.

linux compatibility ports upgrade

It depends on your OS version and your tasks. The default (even for 8-CURRENT so far) is linux_base-fc4 and it's infrastructure ports. I think that for FreeBSD-6.x and lower there is no other alternative. For 7.2-RELEASE (and even better, 7-STABLE) one can use -f8- base and infrastructure ports. For recent 8-CURRENT one can use -f10- ports. There is a WIP to change this to default for 8-CURRENT.

It's funny, sometimes I think portmaster knows that it should upgrade linux-f8* ports and not linux-* ports but sometimes doesn't. I don't know why...

Confused About Linux Compatibility
I am attempting to install a Linux RPM of Legato's Networker Backup Client on FBSD 7.1 I do not know if this is possible but I hope so. :) I have followed instructions in the Handbook and http://www.linux.com/articles/53055. I am at the point of installing an appropriate linux_base port and linux_base-f8 seemed like the most recent/reasonable. However when I attempt to install, I get this output: ** Port marked as IGNORE: emulators/linux_base-f8: compat.linux.osrelease: 2.4.2 is not supported ** Listing the failed packages (-:ignored / *:skipped / !:failed) - emulators/linux_base-f8 Further Google searches suggest that compat.linux.osrelease is a sysctl setting. I've seen reference to setting it to 2.6.16 but also that this is experimental. I found http://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel but this leaves me confused as well. Bottom line, what linux_base port should I install and do I need to set this sysctl to something? I'm confused... Thanks, Drew -- Be a Great Magician!

Is 7.1-PRERELEASE recent enough for -f8? It was built Oct. 9th. Is there any big advantage of -f8 over -fc4? I guess I just *feel* like -f8 would be more updated and less hassle in the long run.

Midi and Linux compatibility
Hello; I'm interested in setting up midi and sound recording gear on a Linux system. There is a program I'm interested in getting installed and using called Rosegarden. I also have to contend with the availability of Linux compatible midi interfaces (which is a blurred subject as far as my research into availability is concerned) My question to the FreeBSD mailing list is: if I use FreeBSD with its Linux compatibility, how do I deal with drivers (for midi inter faces, for instance) and installation. Is there an area of ports for Linux software, specifically Rosegarden or something that will do audio recording, midi sequencing, audio/midi sync, and has a good score editor that will print sheet music? I would be using it on AMD 64 slot 939 FreeBSD v 6.0 Release. (commercial boxed set of cd's from FreeBSD Mall). I'm interested in this because my other option is to set up a machine with Debian and some Debian midi specific software. But I can't afford to build or buy another machine at present. I want to avoid dual boot if I can. One extra question re nvnet driver. I had trouble installing and using it and a response to a query to this list indicated that the port was broken. Can anyone tell me if it has been fixed?

Is there an area of ports for Linux software, specifically Rosegarden or something that will do audio recording, midi sequencing, audio/midi sync, and has a good score editor that will print sheet music? You can check here http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ on ports you are looking, Your Rosegarden is listed. Sean Note that the Rosegarden project refers to the 2.1 series that's in our ports as antique. The latest Rosegarden requires ALSA to work. To the OP, MIDI support on FreeBSD is non-existent aside from some kernel patches that turn up every now and then. If you need hardware MIDI support you need to use Linux, Windows, or OSX.

linux compatibility on 64 bit FreeBSD 5.4 and 6.0
Gentlemen, I have spent several days reading all the documentation I can find but no reference to my problem. linux compatibility: # kldload linux# OR linux_enable=YES both work on my FreeBSD 5.4 32 bit athlon. On my opteron and athlon64 machines with FreeBSD 5.4 or 6.0 (both 64 bit versions) the linux_enable=YES in rc.conf has no effect, whilst # kldload linux gives kldload: can't load linuxkldload: can't load linux: File exists kldstat confirms that no linux.ko is present I would be grateful for any advice as I have a 64 bit linux binary that i need to run Thanking you, Philip Lavers ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Linux compatibility and reverse channels
Hi. I need your help. I use a latest stable release freebsd 5.4 with sb live 5.1 sound card, driver is freebsd module snd_emu10k1, in native freebsd applications is all OK, but in applications running with linux compatibility is reversed left and right channel. For example audacity and unreal tournament 2004 ... I test it on my second machine an there is a the same problem.

CDROM and Linux compatibility
I'm trying to get VMWare setup on a machine running FBSD 4.7. I got the port installed and can run VMWare and the config wizard etc... however it does not see my cdrom. I verified it is mounted, but there is nothing in /compat/linux/dev that points to /dev/acd0c or the mountpoint /cdrom, consequently I don't know where to tell VMWare the CDROM is. I've searched through the list archives but cannot find any answers. Can someone please help? Thanks very much.

After the install, I checked on what packages where installed and I saw linux_base-6.1_3 *AND* linux_base-7.1_1! Now I am confused. Are there actually two packages?
