 Don't you have to install/load a module for Linux binary compatability to 
 work in F'BSD?  I seem to remember that being mentioned during a recent 
 8.something install.

Yes, you do.  The module is called linux.ko and as you can see in the
OP's kldstat listing, it is loaded.  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?

Cheers,

Matthew

 Does anyone know or already configured the linux compatibility in FreeBSD to
 install rpm packages and so on.

hm, actually (almost) all linux applications are installed using 
RPM packages. Did you mean using linux RPM database?

 Actually I'm running the i386 7.2 FreeBSD and the following package.

 %pkg_info |grep linu
 linux_base-fc-4_14  Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for
 i386/amd64)

FYI: You may use `pkg_info -Ix linux_base` for this.

 I already saw the linux compatibility in the hand book of FreeBSD, but I
 didn't find too much information regarding rpm packages.

 Is there any way to do it ? any help is really welcome !

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. A PR with them will be a good thing though.

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.

OK, you have a mix with FC4 and F8 ports. The best way for you is
to remove all linux ports, clean /compat/linux and reinstall needed
linux applications (i.e. linux-realplayer, acroread8, skype, etc.).

 and I am running 7.2-stable, looks like linux-f8* is just as good to me.

Yes, that may be a good choice for you.

That's a bit confused.  5.2-RELEASE (ie. the collection of iso images
and other installer bits and pieces on the FreeBSD ftp servers) has
certainly been superceded by 5.2.1-RELEASE.  Most FreeBSD mirrors will
only carry a couple of recent releases due to space constraints so
5.2-RELEASE has mostly disappeared, but there are some places that
archive older releases -- see

http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org/FBSDsites.php

However the CVS tags you refer to don't work in that way.  First of
all, there isn't a RELENG_5_2_1 tag.  There is a RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE
tag which marks the state of the sources used to generate
5.2.1-RELEASE.  Similarly there's a RELENG_5_2_0_RELEASE tag that does
the same for 5.2-RELEASE.

There is also a RELENG_5_2 *branch*.  The distinction between a branch
and a tag is important.  Checking out sources using a tag will get you
a snapshot of those sources at a particular point in time.  You get
the same set of sources each time you check out against that tag[1].
Checking out sources using a branch will get you the latest
development version from that branch, so the checkouts will vary over
time.

Both 5.2-RELEASE and 5.2.1-RELEASE were generated from the RELENG_5_2
branch, which is a security branch that currently gets you
5.2.1-RELEASE-p9.  In effect, 5.2.1-RELEASE is just another patchset
against the RELENG_5_2 branch, except on a rather larger scale and
fixing more significant problems than most patches.

 Hi

 During my install of 4.7-RELEASE I selected Linux compatibility.  I saw a 
 message saying that it was istalling 6.1_3.  I was surprised, and a little 
 bit miffed, because 4.7 was supposed to have upgraded Linux compatibility to 
 7.1.

 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?  I would have thought that 7.1 would be backward 
 compatible, so a 6.1 would not be necessary.  Is that not the case?

 Can anyone explain, and maybe shed some further light on this?

cutting out the MSN ad would've been nice, too.

i don't even use a console-only mail reader anymore, and i still find
this to be incredibly rude.

a good rule of thumb: if the text you're quoting is larger than your
reply, rethink it or don't post it.

 Dear John,
 
 I'm not sure, but my guess is that linux_base-6.1_3 isn't necessary
 and got installed by some form of minor bug.

agreed.

whoa! not agreed unless you're posting to a mailing list read
exclusively by people used to reading from bottom to top.
are *you* used to reading books from right to left?

You have that one backwards.  Text should flow logically from top to
bottom starting with original post (appropriately trimmed) through 
relevant other responses (again appropriately trimmed) down to the
most recent response.

 cutting out the MSN ad would've been nice, too.

That would be nice.

Hello/Beste erk!,

The text it self wasn't that large. So i don't think this is wrong.
Plus I that leaving it would give someone else a better change at
understanding the question.

 , and put your reply above the quote.

There is a document (about these specific mailing lists) that suggest
to put it at the bottom. (I'll continue doing so.) I feel it would be
better to simply place them at the bottom.
(http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#answer see number 9)

The same document suggest not to put these kind of mail on the list.

I agree on the MSN part.

 i don't even use a console-only mail reader anymore, and i still find
 this to be incredibly rude.

I thought i was friendly, not rude!!

 a good rule of thumb: if the text you're quoting is larger than your
 reply, rethink it or don't post it.

There are a lot of detailed questions with simple answers. I don't see
way this couldn't apply to this one. I waited a couple of days (just
as a other writing suggested) for someone to come up with a better
answer. Since no one did I gave my thoughts.
(http://www.lemis.com/questions.html#answer number 5)

Nobody is perfect. This include you and me! I feel that you make to
much fuss out of this.
