OpenOffice 1.1.0 Install Problem

[Barry Skidmore]

I am installing OpenOffice 1.1.0 on a system on which I just did a fresh
install of FreeBSD-4.9-RELEASE-i386.

I am at the point where JDK is being installed, which requires that
LINPROCFS be mounted, because it needs Linux emulation, which I
installed from the ports and have enabled in rc.conf.

The first step is to load the linprocfs kernel module, but that gives me
the following error:
kldload: can't load /modules/linprocfs.ko: Exec format error

A look in dmesg shows the following:
link_elf: symbol nextpid undefined

I did a Google search for this error, but did not turn up anything.  The
complete seqence of error messages is shown below.

I am very new to FreeBSD, so please word your responses accordingly.

Thanks,
Barry
