Hi tsvetkov, Yes FreeBSD ofcourse doesn't have '-ldl' you can compile by adding '-lc' option to the CFLAGS during the build process. But GlusterFS is still not ported to FreeBSD as there are certain important changes to be done before we can run GlusterFS on FreeBSD. Mainly library checks at the configure level and GNU specific wrapper functions which were used in GlusterFS (or an equivalent standalone library support inside FreeBSD) Eg: 1. some of the Linux xattr calls are not properly supported or lack API support under extattr (extended attributes for UFS). 2. some of the custom MACRO definitions like XATTR_NO_FOLLOW and many other are not present as the xattr libraries are not properly ported (or are not at all ported) 3. Lots of new library checks needs to be put in regard GNU argument parser as a standalone library, strdupa functions coming in from libstrfunc library etc. There was a some amount of ground work done by us regarding on FreeBSD some time back, but its been now kept aside for a while and is not included in the latest release or latest repository checkout. If this is an urgent requirement and need for you then you can add 'FreeBSD port' in the http://www.gluster.org/docs/index.php/GlusterFS_Roadmap also please do write about your additional requirements if you see GlusterFS lacks. -- Harshavardhana "Software gets slower faster as Hardware gets faster"
