Opera 6.11 on FreeBSD 5
Hi all, I'm trying to run opera on FreeBSD 5.0. I've installed from ports which installed version 6.11 When I run opera, I get the following output: $ opera Segmentation fault (core dumped) Doesn't matter if I run as a user or as root, the same thing happens. Does anyone have Opera working on FreeBSD 5 ? TIA, -- Wayne Pascoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Re: Opera 6.11 on FreeBSD 5
This is happening because the Opera 6.11 installed from ports is still a binary (Opera will *NEVER* open source) To get this running, you will need compatibility options with 4.7. In kernel, you will need options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 and you will also need to have installed the compat4x libraries.

On the same topic, does the native FreeBSD > version have a flash plugin available, or am I better off using the > Linux compatible version ? If you wish to have an official implementation, you should use the Linux compatibility mode plugin. However, if you want an open source, cross-platform, native plugin, you can use the unofficial (not made by Macromedia) implementation, which can be installed automatically with portinstall flashplayer (make sure your ports are up to date) > > thanks again...
