So, i got two suggestions. The one below, and "make sure that you have compat22 installed". So, I did what any normally insane person would do, and I remade X from the port after a last-minute CVSup to make sure all was sound (made 3.3.5). While making X, there was a prompt saying "do you want aout libraries installed", to which I typed in "yes". I was not sure how to verify that compat22 was installed (since it doesn't show up in pkg_info). Intuitively I figured that since compat22 shows up under the /usr/src tree, and I "make buildworld" from there, it should install, right? Just to make sure I went into /usr/src/lib and did a "make all install". I then had to manually grab netscape4.6 per the make instructions, and the make depend and make went flawlessly. Upon a make install, however, I get the message "Netscape requires shared library X11.6 - found" Followed by "There are no X aout libraries on this machine". Any more suggestions, folks?
