Hi there--

When I try to compile the FreeBSD 4 XFree86-aoutlibs (i386), I get this
error message:

>cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-aoutlibs/work/lib;  for l in $(ls lib*); do
>/usr/bin/env OBJFORMAT=aout  install -c -s -o root -g wheel -m 555 $l
>/usr/X11R6/lib/aout;  done
>/usr/bin/env OBJFORMAT=aout /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib/aout

>*** Error code 255

As a workaround, I manually moved all the libs in the package to a
directory I created (/usr/X11R6/lib/aoutlib) and ran this command:

ldconfig -aout -m /usr/X11R6/lib/aoutlib

This allows me to use Netscape, etc., but I have to re-run the command
each time I boot.  Not a huge problem, but still, it would be nice to
have it correctly installed so that I don't have to worry about it.  I
am not a linked-library guru by any means.

On the FreeBSD bugs list it has this to say about these libs:

I realize that this describes problems with the 3.x releases, but I
wonder if I am encountering a similar problem.  Any help in beating this
beast down to the ground would be sincerely appreciated.
