mprime on OpenBSD 4.1

robo_mojo · 2008-04-01, 01:13

Greetings,

I am trying to run mprime on an OpenBSD 4.1 box (i386, Athlon Tbird 1.0GHz).

When I run mprime from the mprime2414-freebsd.tar.gz package, I get:

Code:

Abort trap

If I run mprime from sprime2414-freebsd.tar.gz instead I get:

Code:

-bash: ./mprime: Operation not permitted

Any suggestions?

I would think that you'd need to compile it from source, or at least get a binary compiled on another OpenBSD system of the same architecture. Thus, you should probably just get the source tarball and follow the directions included for building mprime.

My guess is you need the correct file permissions. Do "ls -l" to see what it they, read/write/execute, are now for owner/group/all. Then do "man chown" (q to quit) to read up on chown. Assuming you are in the correct directory: Do "chown u+x sprime"; Starting sprime's menu use "./sprime -m".

Permission on mprime is correct (hehe I've been working with Linux systems for years so I know about permission bits and chown

)

I actually got it to work by running the 23.5 FreeBSD version.

You should probably still try compiling the latest version from source, though--23.5 is pretty old. (I would suggest compiling v25.6, the latest beta version--but I don't think the source for 25.6 is publicly available, so v24.14 will have to do.)

The FreeBSD compatibility feature is active for kernels compiled with the COMPAT_FREEBSD option and the kern.emul.freebsd sysctl enabled. (/etc/sysctl.conf)

Make sure you use the freebsd sprime versions.
