Question BSD compiled apps in linux


hey guys...
i have the binaries for an app which i need for a student project. It's a BSD-compiled binary, and it runs properly on freebsd. i was wondering, is there any way for me to run this app under linux? it's an old (about 3 years) X-windows program (no gtk or qt dependency) and since i dont have the source code, i can't recompile from source.

I'm using fedora core-1 for the last few days. I upgraded from redhat 9, and I have been running both redhat and gentoo distros for a while.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

"is there any way for me to run this app under linux?"

Probably not. It would probably be easiest if you installed FreeBSD as your third OS and ran your application on FreeBSD.
