(I submitted this to the -emulation mailing list last
night and apologize if you're subjected to it twice.)
I'm having trouble using the Linux version of a statistics
package called stata. I've been using Release 4 of stata
(the prior version) successfully under FreeBSD 2.1.0 and
2.1.6, but need to upgrade to stata Release 5. I'm waiting
for the Walnut Creek 2.2.[?] CD, but would really like to
get this version of stata running now.
The symptoms are:
1. Installation involve copying files to /usr/local/stata
2. Starting up the program after installation generates:
dunquin# /usr/local/stata/stata
/usr/local/stata/stata: using incompatible library '/lib/libc.so.4'
Desire minor version >= 6 and found 5
/usr/local/stata/stata: using incompatible library '/lib/libm.so.4'
Desire minor version >= 6 and found 5
LINUX: 'ioctl' fd=0, typ=0x54(T), num=0x5 not implemented

(the ioctl message would be nice to clear up, but shouldn't
prevent me from running stata - at least it didn't prevent
me from running Release 4)

4. So, I picked up new linux versions of libc.so.4 and libm.so.4:

5. Unfortunately, now all I get is a core dump:
dunquin# stata
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
dunquin#
Does anyone have any suggestions?
