It also works with several programming languages. The one I am most interested in is yabasic. I am working with Peter Van Eerten to try to get GTK-Server working on FreeBSD 5.3. Peter is the author and the software works great on linux and windows. Peter has managed to get it compiled on FreeBSd5.3, however when run a yabasic demo program that uses GTK-Server, I get an error message that library nss_dns.so.1 is missing. I have searched the ports tree and found references to this in files in these locations... eshop1# grep -r -i nss_dns /usr/ports/* /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools-6/pkg-plist.alpha:usr/lib/libnss_dns.so /usr/ports/devel/linux_devtools-6/pkg-plist.i386:usr/lib/libnss_dns.so /usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads/files/patch-aa:-otherlibs += $(nssobjdir)/libnss_files.ans.a \ /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.4.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.1.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.4.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns-2.1.3.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.1.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.alpha:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns-2.1.3.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.1 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-6/pkg-plist.i386:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.5.so /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns.so.2 I am not enough of an expert or guru to know how to get this library installed , or even if it should be installed on a FBSD5.3 system. Any suggestions or help you can give us would be appreciated. I've googled already and found some references to nss_dns.so.1 and FreeBSD5.3 , but there were no suggestions or fixes that I could find. If this is a dead end, and you can let us know or write me to give me any pointers, please do so at your convenience. Barry A. Tigner Electronics Shop mgr. Physics and Astronomy dept.
