linux_base installation - missing rpm binary
Hello, I've just installed the emulators/linux_base-f10 port in order to run some rpm-based applications. Various online manuals told me that one should not use the native freebsd rpm binary (archivers/rpm), but instead use the /compat/linux/bin/rpm. But there's no such rpm binary under /compat/linux tree. What am I doing wrong? XD I'm running vanilla FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE, fresh ports tree. TIA. -- Best regards, Jeff | Nobody wants to say how this works. | | Maybe nobody knows ... | | Xorg.conf(5)| ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

So we don't use linux rpm database (it is not supported). Said that I might add that it doesn't mean that this won't work if you try. But you'll be at your own here. If you need to install a linux rpm archieve you should do as root: # cd /compat/linux # rpm2cpio -q linux.rpm.archieve | cpio -id Then brandelf any binary executable (not libraries!). Sure you won't be able to do a clean uninstall. But that may help you to do your tests. The best way is to create an apropriate port and use it. Creating a linux port is not hard task. Please take a look at the ports tree (audio ports may be a good starting points as examples). HTH I'm running vanilla FreeBSD-7.2-RELEASE, fresh ports tree. BTW, I'm sure you have read /usr/ports/UPDATING and do have an apropriate variables at /etc/make.conf. ;-) -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone Internet SP FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

BTW, I'm sure you have read /usr/ports/UPDATING and do have an apropriate variables at /etc/make.conf. ;-) Sure, I did. ;) Thanks for the answer, I've used cpio to unpack my rpms. And another related question if you don't mind. I've unpacked my apps under /compat/linux tree but my binary requires shared X libraries: nsdexec: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I've tried to install x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs port but brandelf tells me they are BSD-binaries incompatible with my linux stuff. And thus my app can't start complaining on incompatibilities if I tune lib paths. Any hints?

Don't use it for libraries. You have been warned! ;-) they are BSD-binaries incompatible with my linux stuff. And thus my app can't start complaining on incompatibilities if I tune lib paths. You should not tweak paths untill absolutely needed (and if you really understand what you do). Lunuxulator should DRT if a needed library is present. In case of errors submit them here (or better even to freebsd-emulation@ ML, since more people may help there). -- WBR, Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone Internet SP FreeBSD Committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
