Hello!
I am trying to run a Linux binary on my FreeBSD system using the Linux
compatibility layer. This is a GUI application. I tried to run it as
regular user and as root, but each time I encounter different error
message:
$ ./the_linux_binary
XOpenIM() failed
Abort (core dumped)
$ su
Password:
root at mypc:/home/toomas/tmp # ./the_linux_binary
No protocol specified
Can't open display: :0.0
Is there any hope to get such application running?
Relevant system info follows.
$ grep COMPAT MYKERNEL

options COMPAT_43
