So is there source code? Or is it some dumb binary rpm?
You could try
OK, that was easier than expected. These blobs appeared around
everything linux, but don't look horribly useful. I'll check later
to see if I can find anything else. is there anything I should be
looking for aside from linux?

Ahh, it is, in fact, a binary sh.
The binary compatability looks pretty thourough, and it seems most of
the details in the compatability section for most apps seem to involve
making them check for BSD instead of linux, and ensuring they run in
compatability mode,
I'll run ktrace tonight.

What you want to find is the error message you
found it; uname -a, I fixed that line, now I just need to figure out
how to get the appropriate libs (glibc) into my compat dir... it isn't
in any of the linux compat ports.

Good stuff.
The glibc you have might just do fine. Just make a symlink from the one
you want to
The problem is I don't already have one, though there is a reply to my
other post that I'll be looking at in a few minutes, maybe something
will be there. I updated the locate db, and tried to locate glibc,
but I only found documentation, and a few bin (not lib) compat files
that look like they

That really rather depends on *how* the app is asking. If you can tell
us that, we can almost certainly tell you how to fool it.
Of course, if you have the source code, it should be easy as you can
just comment out the test and
