Where did you get the Linux version of freebasic?
Did it come as source code (that needs compiling).
Or is it a pre-compiled executable?  If it is a 
pre-compile executable, what are its dependencies?

The default library in BL3 is libc5.  The GCC that 
runs on BL3 is a libc5 version (from Slackware 4.0 
which is also based on libc5).  If you have a pre-
compiled executable of freebasic, it was probably
compiled on glibc2 (a larger, more-up-to-date library)
and has glibc2 dependencies.  Executables with glibc2
dependencies will not run on BL3 (unless you upgrade
the libraries).
