As you can probably tell, I have no clue as to > how libraries and the OS works in general as I am not a programmer. I wonder why you have a libc_r.so.4 in /usr/lib/compat, then. Did you install the compat4x package on a 4x machine? That's unnecessary, and you can delete the duplicates in /usr/lib/compat. I think portsclean is just warning you that one library file is blocking another from being seen. Actually, there should have been an explanation just below that warning line ( with --> in front of the text ). -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
