The build completed, although I understand from some other message in the morrass of -current mail that it's a bug for it to have done so. It installed all right too, but I had to add all the library paths with ldconfig -elf -m and ldconfig -aout -m, even though I updated rc.conf and rc with the new library information. I finally got X to run by assuming that the libraries in /usr/local/lib were aout libraries instead of elf ones. However, WordPerfect 7, a linux version, used to run and now doesn't, and no longer believes that FreeBSD 3.0 is installed. (I may have "branded" it as elf before.) I am not sure whether this build should be considered damaged (perhaps missing some elf libraries) and redone with newer sources; some things (ppp and ssh) run as expected. Others like ps and top do not, finding some mismatch, a difficulty that would (I think )require a new kernel. I did build a new kernel with some of the new scsi terminology in it and I created the devices in /dev with the new MAKEDEV file and put them in /etc/fstab but this didn't work (the kernel couldn't fsck the files systems) apparently because I had neglected to put the CAM lines in the kernel. So I have been using the old kernel and old /etc/fstab. This was all done on a system that was up to date (as an aout system) around September 4; it was happily running softupdates then and still does. It also still runs the tcl/tk stuff I've had a chance to try, and it runs ppp and ssh. So, does the build error, not finding /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1, mean that I should resup and redo it, or does it just need some configuration to get it running right? I thought someone might be interested in knowing about this problem and perhaps might be willing to suggest what I ought to do next. Not a real easy process, is it?
