Hello, The binary definitely runs on gentoo linux.

Is this a problem? Linux emulation is certainly on. $ sysctl -a | grep linux kern.emul.linux=1 But I knew this as acroread and opera run fine. With regards to Tylers suggestion (recompiling kernel): OpenBSD aims to work out of the box using the GENERIC kernel. -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
