Hi Boris (apologies for top-posting)
Thanks, I had to go this way in the end. My process was: 1. enable linux binary compatibility on freebsd. 2. build a debian chroot environment using debootstrap 3. obtain some binaries that I could not find in the debian package repos by extracting them directly from the from binary packages with rpm2cpio 4. copy all the linux binaries to /usr/compat/linux/lib ... as per the FreeBSD Handbook After that the binary works perfectly :-) FreeBSD Linux-Binary-Compatibility FTW!!!
