Tom, Thanks for your reply. However, I installed XFree86 as binaries using the instructions found at: http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3.1/RELNOTES11.html Basically, this was just an extraction of some tar balls. I don't recall any mention during the installation of aout libraries. Is there a way to provide compatibility once the binaries are in place? Is it recommended that I reinstall xfree86 from source? I read some recent postings to freebsd-questions that indicate there are problems there, too. Thanks again, Jim On Tue, 23 Feb 1999, Thomas T.
