Hi! I have just got some binary executables for a piece of software for which no source code is available (blast.wustl.edu). The executables seem to have been made on FreeBSD-5. I am running FreeBSD-4.9 (RELENG_4_9) and see this error when trying to run any of the provided binaries: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc_r.so.5" not found A search in Google turned up several mentions to a new? feature of FreeBSD-5 that has? been merged in FreeBSD-4-(STABLE?). They mention some libmap.conf(5) mappings and some note to UPDATING that is missing in my UPDATING file. Also, I don't have any libmap.conf file, and I can't find any man page for libmap.conf(5). My question is: is this only for -STABLE? -CURRENT? Is there something I can do to run the software without having to update to -CURRENT or -STABLE? If there is no trivial solution, I can ask the authors to provide binaries for FreeBSD-4 ... but I thought of asking here first. Thanks in advance, Fernan -- F e r n a n A g u e r o http://genoma.unsam.edu.ar/~fernan

It is highly unlikly you will be able to run this code without upgrading to 5.x. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
