When any of the executables (server, binaries, anything) are run, the system gives an error message like /usr/X386/bin/X: Exec format error. Wrong architecture. I thought it might be a problem with NetBSD/FreeBSD binaries, but the X binaries came from freebsd.cdrom.com under the correct directory. I also thought it might be something to do with shared libraries, but I don't know enough about the differences. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Replies can be mailed to aelia@husc.harvard.edu. -Bolade
