(Current versions are libc.so.4 or .5 and libxpg4.so.3 I found this particularly annoying because the port appeared to install successfully and then a later port that depended on jdk failed to configure - without any useful errors. I needed to manually work through the failing section of the configuration file to discover the error. >How-To-Repeat: Install jdk-1.1.8 on -CURRENT or -STABLE machine without 3.x compatibility libraries. Try to run (eg) jar. >Fix: Preferably re-compile against -STABLE. As a minimum, add dependency checks in the port Makefile to ensure that the libraries are present before installing the port. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
