Thank you. I didn't mean to sound mean spirited and I apologize if I did. I just meant to say that if you thought there was an OpenSolaris ld.so.1 you were mistaken. BTW, if someone out in the community would like to do some work to enable ld.so.1 that would be great! I think another release of code will be coming soon and that may help the community help the porting effort. > > The purpose of the PowerPC discussion forum is to facilitate the > discussion of the PowerPC architecture and it how relates to Solaris. > > If you have read recent comments from Scott McNealy of SUN, you would > know that SUN would like to see Solaris run on the POWER architecture. > > The polaris project is a project that is helping work towards that > goal and is part of the OpenSolaris PowerPC community: > http://polaris.blastwave.org > > I believe Brian was simply trying to inform you that application code > has not yet been ported, and as a result, the information you request > is not yet available because no decisions have yet been made regarding > it.
