Hi, all.
I'm trying to run a SCO application on my fbsd box (2.1.6.1). The "thing"
is running under SCO 3.2r4, and reading the docs I think that I might have
a chance of success. However, I've been unable to run even the simplest
system binary ('yes', for example, or 'ls', or 'compress'...).
I've read both the FAQ and the IBCS2 readme file, and followed the
instructions carefully, but to no avail. I've compiled the kernel with
the "COMPAT_IBCS2" option, and the modules seem to load ok, but every time
I try to run a SCO binary I get a "Abort trap" message, and that's all.
I'd like to hear from someone that has any experience about this, and would
appreciate a lot any advice/hint/whatever you could give to me. Of course
I know that nobody can guarantee that the application will run (it runs on
top of a progress database server), but I think that those simple system
binaries should run, at least.
Thanks in advance,
Pedro.
