Topic: foxpro & iBCS

[mike mattos]

has anyone used the foxpro runtime on e-smith?  It requires the iBCS system, which appears to be on the system, but the program fails with an error
bash: ./foxr.exe: cannot execute binary file

apart from the error, everything else seems to be in place !

thx

Is this the same FoxPro 2.6 for Unix that's been around for years, or has Microsoft put out a newer version? Just curious as I'm an old Dbase/FoxPro programmer. FoxPro for Unix was quite a pig on SCO Unix -- if it wasn't such a hog, it would make a pretty good backend for a web system. Visual FoxPro on NT/2K with IIS is a killer combination, but then you have to put up with all the Windows crap.

Sorry, no answer to your question, just sparked an interest.

Try loading the iBCS module explicitly with a "modprobe iBCS" before.
That should help.
