Everything on this machine is ELF. I was hoping I had missed something but it seems like the X11R6 aout libraries will have to be built with the XFree86 port in order to maintain backward compatibility. Netscape works fine on machines that I have updated because it finds the aout libs in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, but that is not the case with a fresh installation of 3.0Beta with ELFised ports. -- Glenn Johnson gljohns@bellsouth.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
