BSD Help

As far as I know... Mac OS X is powered by a BSD variant. I was trying to get a TFC server up in a OS X Server 1.2 machine, but got an error message when I tried to run this command:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/half-life directory path:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(which is what i use on a linux box. before running the half-life executable)

The error said something about LD_LIBRARY_PATH being a bad or unrecognized object> I don't recall the exact message and I won't be able to reproduce it until later today. At which time I can post it and other info if necessary.

Can anyone tell me what I would need to do to accomplish the same thing in BSD? I'm *really* new at *nix. I think that command has something to do with loading libraries, but I honestly do not know enough about either OS to know for certain.

Thanks

Is linux compatability installed on it? Most BSDs allow for 100% linux/solaris/etc. compatability, but you have to install and I believe, recompile the kernel.

I haven't done much work aside from setting up user and filespace on OS X Server.

Hm.. how can I check if it's already installed? This is an out of the box 1.2 Server install. With Web Objects installed.
Where would I be able to download the linux compatibility module?

Yeah same here. Basic stuff and using the GUIs for the http and QuickTime servers.

See...that's what I don't know. I'm used to port trees on my BSD.

Maybe there's a website somewhere...FYI, Apple has awesome tech notes. They're really helpful. Do a search of the tech notes on Apple's website.
