Hello again: :)

Are you telling me that I should put "libc.so.4" into
"/compat/linux/usr/lib" ?. But those files aren't linux.
I don't quite catch what you mean when you say 'need to
be placed in a "compat" directory'. Would you mind
explaning to me how that can be done or pointing me
some url to learn more about it (I mean, learn about
how "compat" directory works) ?

I'm going to follow your advice and Im going to start
the "make buildworld" again, problably in a couple
of days. Thank you very much for your help!!!

PS: you've got a funny domain, catwhisker (lol)
