All packages are built to run under -current, which means they need
libc.so.3.0. So yes, technically, you need -current. But not really.
There are a couple of things you could do.
The best solution, since you have already installed the Modula-3
compiler, is to get the cvsup _port_ and build it from the sources.
Then it will depend on the version of libc that actually exists on your
system (libc.so.2.2). This solution will also get rid of the warnings
about your X11R6 libraries.
As another option, it should also work to add a symbolic link:
/usr/local/lib/m3/FreeBSD2/libc.so.3.0 -> /usr/lib/libc.so.2.2
and then do "ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib/m3/FreeBSD2". This is cheating
a little bit, but it should work fine.
Finally, you could fetch the static binary release from
freefall.freebsd.org in "/pub/CVSup/cvsup-bin-13.5.tar.gz". It doesn't
use any shared libraries at all.
BTW, libz is included in FreeBSD-2.1.6.1-RELEASE; it shouldn't have been
missing after you installed that version.
