cannot install emulators/linux_base-f10

[ccc]

hi

I cannot install emulators/linux_base-f10 from ports on my freeBSD 8.1 RELEASE due to the following problem:

# cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10
# make install clean
===>  linux_base-f10-10_2 linuxulator is not (kld)loaded.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-f10.

What's wrong?

# kldload linux

seems to solve this problem.

BTW should I create /boot/loader.conf and add this line:

linux_load="YES"

There are a couple of basic errors that you have made here. The first is forgetting to

kldload linux

before starting to install linux_base and the second is not reading the instructions.FreeBSD manual for linux compatibility

Thx, but if I set in /etc/rc.conf:

linux_enable="YES"

then I don't need to set in /boot/loader.conf?

I'm pretty sure that you are correct in that you do not need to set it both places.

But, then, if you use linprocfs(5) or linsysfs(5) for anything, they'll automagically load linux.ko too.
