[LUNA] Running Linux executables under FBSD 9.3 ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I have some in-house CAD/Grid-generation coding that I normally use 
on my various linux boxen. The code is compiled on a CentOS 5.n VM, & 
runs on all of my other boxen OK. I want to run it under FBSD 9.3 as 
well. I tried to just execute it & I get the following:

I did a kldload linux & it said already loaded. What else do I need to 
do to be able to run this (& other) executables under FBSD 9.3 ? TIA ....
