Some of them are here: This is never going to work properly: libc.so.5 is different in some significant ways from libc.so.4. It's quite surprising that xemacs would start at all. What you need to do is find an xemacs-devel package compiled against FreeBSD 4.x: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/All/ is a good place to look, as are the equivalent locations on the many regional mirrors. It appears that there is not a suitable precompiled package for xemacs-devel available at the moment. One should appear in the relatively near future as part of the preparations for 4.8-RELEASE. The other alternative is to cvsup yourself an up to date coppy of the ports tree and compile xemacs-devel yourself. Which is a whole lot less hassle than you might think --- the ports system makes all that stuff pretty much automatic.
