Also, ``clean'' needs removing from: cd src/usr.bin/genassym make depend all install clean cd ../../usr.sbin/config make depend all install clean because doing a ``make clean'' at this point then causes ``make installworld'' fail in those directories. The cure of course is to do a ``make all'' in those directories before ``make installworld''. Finally, is this resolved yet? This message appeared 166 times during ``make buildworld'': /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found It also caused config(8) on the new kernel to fail, but ldconfig -R /usr/obj/usr/src/lib/libc cured that. > Jim > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message -- Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
