We now use Fedora Core 4 as the linux base port, and the corresponding xorg libs for the linux X11 libs port.
To upgrade you have to run
portupgrade -f -o emulators/linux_base-fc4 linux_base\* portupgrade -f -o x11/linux-xorg-libs linux-XFree86-libs
You need to make sure that you have not changed the sysctl compat.linux.osrelease. FC4 behaves differently depending on the content of this sysctl. Only the default value of this sysctl is supported. In case of problems also revert to the default of the compat.linux.osname if changed.
In case "printenv | grep LD_" prints something, e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD, you have to make sure it is not set when starting linux programs, else FreeBSD libraries will be picked up and the programs do not start.
After this start a linux program to test, e.g., acroread. If you get errors when starting linux programs about problems with libraries, and you made sure no LD_* variable is set as described above, you are one of those unlucky people where we do not have a better solution as to tell you to deinstall every linux port, remove /compat/linux completely to make sure no cruft is left and reinstall everything you need.
