Lines: 17 Message-ID: <30FEAD62.76B2@visi.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: bigfoot.visi.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 2.0b5 (Win95; I) I just joined this news group. I've just recently installed free BSD. This is probably a goober question but... I can't exicute any of the programs I've compiler from the ports directory on the CDROM. I did let it map the cdrom to /usr/ports and I have mounted the /dev/scd0a and can see the drive just fine. I can even compile the ports I'm looking for just fine. Like JOVE for instance. However once I compile the damn thing it wont exicute. I'm logged in as root, and the file has execute permissions set, but they don't run. ARG! I should also mention that if I compile them from the install menu they work. I shouldn't have to do this though. Also If I try to run sysinstall from /stand is doesn't execute either. ARGGHHH!!!! help. -- "It's not my god damned planet, understand monkey boy! - B. Bonzai"
