Hi. Relative newbie here. I was browsing the freebsd web site the other day and noticed the section on upgrade kits at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/. Because I run 4.0-RELEASE, I installed the 4.0 to 4-stable upgrade kit, and now I can't install any ports. It fails on fetch with the message "bad system call". I noticed that one of the files upgraded by the kit was libc.so, which is a symlink that was pointing to libc.so.3 and now points to the new libc.so.4. I suspect that might be the problem. I tried deleting the package with pkg_delete, but got a message saying that was impossible because it would render my system useless. What can I do? Can I just point libc.so back to libc.so.3? I vaguely recall a utility to do such things called ldd or something but I can't remember. tia, tom _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
