The application is written in standard 'C' and was originally developed on a SYS5 system. The application compiles without any errors using gcc v2.6. However when I try to run the program, the program exits and the system immediately repors the following error: 'Exec format error. Wrong Architecture.' I've ported the application to many systems both SYS5 and BSD based, however I've never used gcc. Is this a gcc problem or a FreeBSD problem? This really has me stomped. Can anyone shed any light on this problem?? Many thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________________ Ravi Cheema "We take a handful of sand from the <ravi@ruthless.demon.co.uk> endless landscape of awareness around us <ravi@osm.co.uk> and call that handful of sand the world." ____________________________________________________________________________
