I get what to me seems almost randomly this message: Can't find shared library "libdes.so.3.0" It appears if I want to run ppp, but pppd runs fine. I was confused about this, but settled with the pppd solution. Yesterday I wanted to run Speak Freely, and again I got this libdes message. This was with a package install. I tried to install as a port instead, but the executables (sfspeaker, sfmike etc.) did immidiate core dumps, so I went back to the package install... of course they still terminated with the libdes message. My system is FreeBSD-2.2.6. I installed Speak Freely on another system, also running 2.2.6, but here it works without giving me the libdes error message, which really confuses me. Both systems does not have libdes installed, since some of the programs I'm running on them depend on MD5. I have been running ppp on 2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.5 without any problems. So I conclude there is some kind of weirdness in 2.2.6 that causes these problems. I cannot see why ppp or Speak Freely should break because of these missing (and unneeded) crypto libraries. Per suggestion from ERRATA.TXT I tried work-around no 2 ( symbolic link to libcrypt.so.2.0) which resulted in core dumps again for Speak Freely. Any insight or suggestions?
