Linux Compatibility and Folding@Home

[Loren M. Lang]

I was trying to run a Linux program called Folding at Home in FreeBSD, but
it doesn't seem to want to load.  I have a version compiled for
glibc 2.2 I believe, but when I run it in bsd, I get the error message:

ELF binary type "0" not known.
Abort trap

That was using version 3.x of F at H.  They also have a glibc 2.3 version,
but that also fails:

./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found
(required by ./FAH3Console-LinuxB.exe)

This I believe is because it looks like freebsd uses glibc 2.2.5 for
it's linux compatibility layer.  I have successfully run other programs
with the linux compatibility layer, so I know I have linux.ko loaded and
everything set up correctly.

NT is the path to the darkside.
