You could always wimp out on this one and simply stop if you don't find a libc_r in the obvious place, telling the user to go compile that bit and come back. 2.2.7, due in just 7 days now (eek!), will have it by default and, of course, 3.0 does as well so relying on it just being installed is not as bad as it sounds. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
