The port "man2web" gives an error message of "(/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found, required by "man2web")" After a couple of hours of frustration, I believe a better solution should be available from your "better minds"... (at lease a search term linked to "libc.so.6") Just WHAT should I be searching for? "linux"?, "freebsd 6"?, "lib.so"?, "???"... The utility "sysinstall" gives no help, nor does maillist searches. A "FAQ" item would be a great help. >How-To-Repeat: Install man2web port under FreeBSD_7.1-RELEASE. >Fix: A "FAQ" entry... Please know, this is NOT an insult in any way on your great work... Just would like to know what to do... >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
