If anyone can help on any of the below - please let me know...
Running a recent i386 -current:
Could you install the emulators/suse_linux-6.3 libs and try the
editors/framemaker package and let me know if it brings up
any windows? (You will need to comment out the 'BROKEN' line
in the Makefile)
Running a native suse linux 6.3 install
Could you try the linux framemaker download from
http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fmlinux.html
(Trying to determine if the problem is NetBSD or SuSE 6.3)
Someone who understands the linux emulation setup :)
The linux framemaker binary runs fine on 1.4.2 using the 6.1
suse_linux libs, but fails with 6.3 (even if the kernel allows the
new linux vfork() syscall).
It looks to be a linux libc issue, installing suse_linux-6.3
and then overwriting the following with the 6.1 versions
and all works fine:
/emul/linux/lib/ld-linux.so.2
/emul/linux/lib/libc.so.6
/emul/linux/lib/libdl.so.2
There is an additional problem with the fa.clickprint and other
'plugins', that shows up with 6.3 bash.
Yeck... I ran NetBSD so I wouldn't have to deal with this mush :)
