Install mathematica5 for linux on freebsd4.9 successfully

[wxy]

Hi,
 
I have installed mathematica5 for linux on freebsd4.9 successfully.
 
The methods are as follows:
 
A:
modify the script files ---ath/mathematica/Mathematice/MathKernel/mcc， 
1.replace #!/bin/sh with #!/compat/linux/bin/sh, as mr. Brooks said

2. Change Linux) into FreeBSD) to recognize operation system.
3.In the two files math and MathKernel, replace /proc/cpuinfo with ${TopDirectory}.
 
OK.
 
B:
 
1.
    Linux)->FreeBSD) 
2.
    remove exec form 'exec test -L ...' 
3.
    cd /usr/lib 
    cp libgmp.so.3 libgmp0.so.3 
    rm libgmp.so libgmp.so.3 
    ln libgmp0.so.3 libgmp.so
    ln -s /usr/local/Wolfram/5.0/.../Libraries/libgmp.so.3 
    ln -s /usr/local/Wolfram/5.0/.../Libraries/libguide.so 
    ln -s /usr/local/Wolfram/5.0/.../Libraries/libmkl.so 
4. 
    In the two files math and MathKernel, replace /proc/cpuinfo with
    ${TopDirectory}.
 
OK.
 
Good lucky to everyone.

FYI, the best way to convert scripts associated with linux binaries is
often to replace the #!/bin/sh in them with #!/compat/linux/bin/sh.
This causes them to run with the right paths so they find things under
/compat/linux.
