Hi guys,
This is a bit off-topic, but Zend's dropping support for FreeBSD is really unacceptable imho. I would like to invite all FreeBSD users, maintainers and hosters of FreeBSD FAMP-configurations to join the following topic on the zend forums and express their regret and dismay with me:

In my opinion they affiliated with linux and it is a deliberate move to try and get people to use linux instead of freebsd. Their reasoning has no logic. Their mean excuse is a lack of demand for freebsd.
1 - It doesnt matter if people are only developing code on windows and linux, the compiled code still has to be run on freebsd servers, they are judging demand based on the OS of the person developing code.
2 - I have a zend licence, as well as 2 friends and a few customers, every single one of us asked for freebsd to be reinstated on the premium support contact however we either simply got ignored or were rudely told to start using RHE. (also makes me think they affiled with linux), we then tried to push the issue by stating when we brought our licenses we were told freebsd was supported so as such we want a refund or freebsd support to be reinstated, to date we have not had a reply on this.
Right now I have zend 3.3.9 working on freebsd 7.2 32bit, I expect it will also work on 8.0 32bit. Works fine with compat6x installed.
However I am trying to get it to work on 7.2 64bit. When I install compat6x it installs both 32bit and 64bit libraries. But trying to load zend gives this error.
Code:
Failed loading /home/work/ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-freebsd6.0-i386/data/5_2_x_comp/ZendOptimizer.so: /home/work/ZendOptimizer-3.3.9-
freebsd6.0-i386/data/5_2_x_comp/ZendOptimizer.so: unsupported file layout
ldd32 simply says it cannot find the file
I see hits on google of people successfully using it on 7.x 64bit but I think they are all using the 330a 6.x 64bit version. 333 and 339 are all in 32bit only for fbsd.
