That seems like a pretty clear message - something about your 2 systems is so different that programs compiled on one aren't able to run on the other. I can't know for sure the cause, but here are a couple of ideas:

- Maybe one of the machines is 64-bit and the other is 32-bit.
- Maybe you compiled with very hardware specific compiler optimization flags and the other machine can't support the optimized code.
- Perhaps the proprietary BSD variant OS just won't allow for the executable file format produced by free BSD.

The purpose for my questions is accessing these technologies from applications. I develop both applications and databases.

I'm never quite sure whether to use "this." or not when referring to fields or properties in the same class. It obviously works just fine without it but sometimes I wonder if using this. consistently may make the code easier to understand for someone else, etc. Using "this." makes it immediately clear, for example, that the variable being referred to is a member of the same class and is not declared in the method as a local variable. ...
