Where did 2.2 come from? I can't honestly say why FreeBSD installs it as 2.2, though I am crossposting this to see why...

Refresh my memory, if a program has 'shared libraries' then aren't they build INTO the binary, so there are no dependencies at runtime, though I could be wrong. Again, I am sincerly sorry it doesn't work "out of the box" with OpenBSD, and hopefully my crossposting will give you some closure. - bill fumerola [root/billf]@chc-chimes.com - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800)252.2421 x128 / bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - BF1560 - "Logic, like whiskey, loses its beneficial effect when taken in too large quantities" -Lord Dunsany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
