My experience was that to use linux-base-7 successfully with acroread4
or acroread5, I had to be running XFree86 4.x or newer.  With XFree
3.x, acroread would drop core or fail in other ways.

I had, but I wanted to run acroread5.

Re-making acroread5 did not help; the error message says anything about
some incompatible FreeBSD stuff, so I suppose the start-script is
broken.

You might have better luck with acroread4 or acroread5.

Of those two, I find only acroread4 works on my linux-base-7.1, but from
the error message, it looks like it didn't like my OS upgrade and
re-making acroread5 would probably fix it.  In any case, the main
programs are scripts which one could probably debug if the problem is in
the script like my problem seems to be.

Most ports can run with linux-base-6. Personally I have made better
experience with linux-base-6.

AFAIK linux-base-6 represents a RedHat 6.2 system, while linux-base-7 is
RedHat 7.x.

I've not been able to run acroread or sybase-11.0.3 with linux-base-7.
With version 6 I've had no problems.

I'd continue to run linux-base-6.

linux_base vs linux_base-6?

2002-10-04 Thread Fernan Aguero

I have recently finished a clean installation of
FreeBSD-4.6.2. Since I run linux binaries I chose to install
the linux-compatibility packages from the install media.
This currently is linux_base-6, if I read it right.

Now many ports have their dependencies listed as
linux_base-7.1 or something similar. This means that my
linux-compatibility tree got updated when I installed some
of this ports? or should I do this
manually by going to /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base and
doing a 'make install'?

Now, what are the pros and cons of -7.1 and -6?

Suggestions?

Fernan
