         Well Aaron I have wiped all trace of my former installation of
Linux Poplog on FreeBSD and reinstalled.
         This time I made a /tmp directory under /compat/linux and
installed util-linux-2.11r-10.i386.rpm to get /bin/more. I used Motif
again because it is a harder linkage for testing. I still get the error

Can't open shared object
/usr/local/poplog/current.poplog/pop/extern/lib/libXm.so
(Inappropiate ioctl for device)
 
         But I think this is a FreeBSD problem, the ELF linker does find
the appropriate library in time.It is actually pretty amazing that Linux
Poplog builds on FreeBSD when you consider that Poplog uses the
assembler a bit to build.
         
         There are a lot of messages saying

 cc1 changing search order for system directory "/usr/include"
as it is already has been specified as a non-system directory

         while building but I think these come from the FreeBSD Linux
emulation layer.

         I will do one more build tomorrow without Motif but that should
go alright. What format would you like the document in ? Most things
except HTML should be O.K.

                                     All the best,
                                       John Duncan
