Cannot install cPanel - "ELF binary type "0" not known"

[cburchell]

I have performed a minimum install of FreeBSD-5.2.1-RELEASE (inluding Linux binary compatibility) and then:

login as root
mkdir /home/cpins
fetch http://layer1.cpanel.net/latest
sh latest

I get the following output:

Creating directory intalld
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing cplyr1-cPanel...............
ELF binary type "0" not known.
./futex-test: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
strings: /boot/system.map*: No such file or directory
./bootstrap: ./install: not found

Can anyone provide assistance?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

In doing a minimum install, I discovered that Perl is required to run the 'latest' installer script.

Just installed Perl and the install worked fine.
