Now *that's* a familiar story. I went through the exact same thing trying to get Fresco (a real pain in the sphincter) working on FreeBSD. I had to give up.

I lack the knowledge/patience to try to get all that stuff working properly. I got as far as you did before I threw in the towel. I have a feeling I need to make the whole world over again with a bmake'd gcc before it'll work right. You know, a new gcc might also fix problem report bin/230 (constructors for global objects in shared libraries not called). You guys wanna close that pr, right? Right? :-) -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory, Boulder Colorado USA It's fascinating to think that all around us there's an invisible world we can't even see.
