FreeBSD agentj 6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #14: Sat Jan 21 23:04:52 GMT 2006     root@agentj:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MYKERNEL  i386
>Description:
When linux compatibility service starts at boot, /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig complains about various files in /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib not being symlinks.

This happened after upgrading linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_5 -> linux-XFree86-libs-4.3.99.902_6.

The files it complains about are-

libxkbui.so.1
libxkbfile.so.1
libfontenc.so.1
libXvMC.so.1
libXss.so.1
libXinerama.so.1
libXRes.so.1
libGLw.so.1
libFS.so.6

Uninstalled linux-XFree86-libs and linux_base-8, re-installed (linux_base-8 port has subsequently been upgraded, with no change) both ports, no change.

I'm not sure whether this is just a minor warning issue or whether it creates a genuine problem.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I don't know how good this fix is, but at the very least it suppresses the warnings at boot.

Manually create symlinks in /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib, specifically-

cd /compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s libxkbui.so.1.0 libxkbui.so.1
ln -s libxkbfile.so.1.0 libxkbfile.so.1
ln -s libfontenc.so.1.0 libfontenc.so.1
ln -s libXvMC.so.1.0 libXvMC.so.1
ln -s libXss.so.1.0 libXss.so.1
ln -s libXinerama.so.1.0 libXinerama.so.1
ln -s libXRes.so.1.0 libXRes.so.1
ln -s libGLw.so.1.0 libGLw.so.1
ln -s libFS.so.6.0 libFS.so.6
