You're trying to run a ksh binary that was compiled for FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE on a 2.0-RELEASE system. Just copying a new version of the shared libc onto your system may not be enough. (It might work, but it isn't recommended.) You have two choices: - Get the pdksh sources and compile them on your system. - Upgrade to 2.0.5-RELEASE. If you're happy with 2.0, then it's probably best to just build pdksh on your machine. As it happens, libc.so.2.1 is in the binary distribution for 2.0.5. You could try extracting it from there. Alternatively, you could download the sources to libc from FreeBSD-current and compile it yourself. In either case, this is a tricky operation and not guaranteed to work. -Bill -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Møøse Illuminati: ignore it and be confused, or join it and be confusing! ~~~~~~ "Welcome to All Things BSDish!
