Hi
I’m trying to install Abyess Web Server in FreeBSD 5.2.1
I get the following error after ./abyssws

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object “libc_r.so.4” not found

I need to install some think but I don’t now what & I cannot seen to find anything about it in the troubleshooting guide.

Regards
Jonathan

I've never used that OS before, but I use linux a little. To me, that means abyss uses that library to run, and you need to install it. Maybe somebody here knows more. I don't know if this helps, but what I do in Linux is search on google for that exact name, and I usually find a site to download the file within the first 10 results. Usually find some installation instructions too. Maybe that helps, maybe not...but good luck.

Ok thanks
That’s what I normally do (look it up on Google)
But I’m not having much luck with this problem :(

Trojan,

Abyss was compiled on FreeBSD 4.8 so it depends on the version 4 of the system libraries. Try installing FreeBSD 4.* libraries/executable support in your operating system. If you have installed the Linux binary compatibility mode, you can also run the Linux version of Abyss on your FreeBSD.

Anyway, we'll try to keep you updated if we discovered the origin of the problem. Your feedback is also welcome.

Aha! That’s a cunning plan why did I not think of that (using the Linux version)
As I don’t now how to install version 4 of the system libraries

& it works :) thanks

The only thing when I restart my FreeBSD server abyss does not start up automatically or restart from with in the admin, just stops. I don’t now if it’s cos I’m using the Linux version?
Anyway that’s a minor problem

Trojan,

To have Abyss restart automatically at system startup, you'll have to add it to one of the intialization script in /etc/rc.d (just as you would do with any other system service.) Please contact for more information.

I cannot seem to get abyss to start automatically.
Can you please tell me how to right a script that will start it

Thanks
Jonathan

Ps
I have managed to install the version 4 of the system libraries. So I have got FreeBSD version of Abyss to work :)
