Linux binary compatibility "Kernel too old"?

Hypersonic · 12-20-2008, 12:32 AM

I am having problems trying to install GNU/Linux applications on FreeBSD 7, but many of them will not install because it returns an error that the kernel is too old for some reason. I have linux_base-fc6 installed, but it still will not work. For instance, here is what type of output that I receive when installing Skype (a GNU/Linux application):

It looks like I solved this problem by myself. I upgraded linux_base-fc6 to linux_base-f8, which appeared to solve the problem.

as root type this :

PHP Code:


			
sysctl compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.16

this is for linux kernel 2.6 support and try linux_base-f10 instead .

I suggest you go to http://forums.freebsd.org and follow the flash howto written by grimlock. It also covers linux compatibility.
ports-mgmt/pkg_replace should be installed.
Echo the argument above into sysctl.conf.
Upgrade the base to f10.
make should always follow this:

Code:

%su
Password:
# cd /usr/ports/path/to/port
#ls
<look to see if there is a  work directory. Open the Makefile to see if there are configure options or something brojken- override is necessary sometimes.>
#make config
#make install
#make clean

You may need to do gmake, which is annoying.
