AMD64 VM on FreeBSD?
Locked
 
|
Hi, I have an AMD64 box running FreeBSD 8.2. I read the discussion between David Lewis and Randal Schwartz on the vm-dev list about getting the Squeak VM runnong on AMD64 but I don't know FreeBSD well enough to compile it myself. Does anyone have a working VM (any old version will do)? We have just brought up a a FreeBSD server and find that we can't run any squeak VM on it, period. I DO know how to use the ports collection, but the only versions available are ix86 and we need AMD64. Thanks. Lawson |

Every x64 CPU can run x86 programs, so you _can_ use the existing VMs. I guess you're running a 64-bit OS, so you'll have to install 32-bit libraries to use 32-bit VMs. Levente > > I DO know how to use the ports collection, but the only versions available > are ix86 and we need AMD64. > > > Thanks. > > > Lawson > |

I am running freeBSD 8.2 amd64. It will NOT run the ix86 VM. The error is: ELF interpreter /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found Abort Freebsd experts say that this error is because the VM is a i386 32 bit version, and that will not run on a amd64 freebsd 1:19 AM So I am still looking for any VM compiled for FreeBSD 8.2 for amd64 Thanks.

Hi Lawson, Since you mentioned you're running a server... I have a prebuilt CogVM binary on my website, which will work on FreeBSD 8.2 amd64 with one major caveat, no X11 support. I'm developing a web service, so this hasn't been an issue for me. The binary seems to work fine on a 64bit host when you pass the -nodisplay flag (I put RFBServer into my image so I can pull up the GUI when needed). Since X11 works just fine on 32bit FreeBSD systems, using X over ssh in a 32bit jail would be another route. I did a few quick experiments, but haven't had time to figure out how to get Cog fully working on 64bit FreeBSD. Building on a 32bit system creates plugin library path issues for the 64bit host. I also tried to build the 32bit binary on a 64bit host, but ran into issues with the default gcc 4.2. Binaries are at www.unthinkable.or/dl/ I'll post the latest rev in a couple days. As Levente pointed out, you will need to install the 32bit compatibility libraries from base. On 06/06/11 00:18, Lawson English wrote: > > Hi, I have an AMD64 box running FreeBSD 8.2.

I did use sysinstall, did post-install configuration of FreeBSD, installed additional distribution sets, then i did 32-bit runtime compatibility libraries. It did install a lot of stuf, including in /usr/lib32 Finally I did: ldconfig -32 /usr/lib32. I also checked the /etc/rc.conf and the /defaults/etc/rc.conf settings to see if the 32 libraries were in the paths. Is that what you meant with "install the 32bit compatibility libraries from base" ? I had tested you older version cogvm-2373-freebsd-i386 befor, and tried the new one tooe\, but like all vm's it is not working. I have a new error now, truncated ELF file. And then again the ELF interprete error i had before: elf_load_section: truncated ELF file ELF interpreter /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 not found Abort Thanks for the help. Lawson

Yes, that's correct. It was a few months ago, but IIRC, I didn't need to run ldconfig or update paths on my server to make it work. > > I had tested you older version cogvm-2373-freebsd-i386 befor, and tried > the new one tooe\, but like all vm's it is not working. > I have a new error now, truncated ELF file.
