Hi.

I'm having some weird problems, when I try to install emulators/suse91_base
(needed by www/opera7).

Lines from the install, some modifications done to make easier reading.
The actual error is the last two lines.

So what could be wrong?

This is without /emul/linux symlink, but it is the same with it.

Heres some grepping from /netbsd:
_CFG_options         COMPAT_LINUX    # binary compatibility with Linux
_CFG_###> options \011EXEC_AOUT\011# exec a.out binaries
_CFG_###> options \011EXEC_ELF32\011# exec ELF binaries
_CFG_###> options \011EXEC_SCRIPT\011# exec #! scripts

This is 2.0.2.

Don't these mean that I have Linux-compatibility?  Is there something
else needed?

Also, the installation was kind of a kludge, I had serious problems
getting NetBSD to install on my system, so the install is done at least
half by hand.  So if there is some ld-magic that sysinst does, it could
be missing.

I remember having some similar problems years ago when I was first
starting to use NetBSD and IIRC, they had something to do with ld.
But I just can't remember what did I do to solve them.

Hope I didn't forget anything important from the problem description.
If you need more details, please ask.
