[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: :- Why not just remove it? I re-installed linux_base and that *did* remove it. And, as Terry suggests, acroread works fine without it. In fact there is no /compat/linux/dev directory at all after the reinstall.
I don't have a clue how that file got created in the first place, except to guess that it is a side effect of installing some port. Also, Kris points out that the Makefile for the linux_base port has this in the do-install section # Make sure we have a /dev/null in the chrooted environment. @${MKDIR} ${LINUXBASE}/dev @${RM} -f ${LINUXBASE}/dev/null @mknod ${LINUXBASE}/dev/null c 2 2 @${CHMOD} 666 ${LINUXBASE}/dev/null But, as I said above, there is no /compat/linux/dev after the install, so you can color me confused. -- Robert Withrow, [EMAIL PROTECTED], +1 978 288 8256, ESN 248 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
