I assume this is a bug--is it? Do I report > it to the package maintainer/owner, or what? It's not a bug, it's an installation problem.. The xforms port downloads a *binary* of the library, not the sources (which probably aren't available). The library is linked against libc.so.3. There's nothing you can do about that, except ask the libxforms developers to provide a version linked against a modern freebsd. To fix this, you need to install the FreeBSD 3.x compatability libraries. You can do that from sysinstall if you're runing -RELEASE, or by doing "make install" in /usr/src/lib/compat/compat3x.i386. If you're tracking -STABLE, add "COMPAT3X= yes" to your /etc/make.conf. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
