Hi,

   I just finished doing a test install of 4.0-19990914-SNAP, which
worked like a champ. The X11 config with 3.3.5 also went great.
However, after everything was up and running, I couldn't start
an xterm. The following error was reported:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libtermcap.so.2" not found


   Well, not the correct fix, but to get around the problem I
did the following:

cd /usr/lib && ln -s libncurses.so libtermcap.so.2


   A system from just before the ncurses work shows the following:

$ uname -a
FreeBSD looney.unx.sas.com 4.0-19990827-SNAP FreeBSD 4.0-19990827-SNAP #0: Thu Sep  2 10:38:29 EDT 1999     root@looney.unx.sas.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/LOONEY  i386
$ cd /usr/lib
$ ls -al libtermcap*
-r--r--r--  2 root  wheel  19126 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root  wheel     15 Aug 27 10:17 libtermcap.so -> libtermcap.so.2
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  14344 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap.so.2
-r--r--r--  2 root  wheel  20356 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap_p.a


   So, we may want to add the extra symlink as a default.


thanks,
John
