In /usr/src/share/mk/bsd.own.mk (v1.21), lines 143-146: .if ${OBJFORMAT} == aout LIBDIR?= /usr/lib/aout .else LIBDIR?= /usr/lib .endif But these libraries are installed under /usr/lib/compat/aout by sysinstall.

As I have not [yet] used PicoBSD, I am not sure that this problem actually exists. -- JMA ----------------------------------------------------------------------- José Mª Alcaide | mailto:jose@we.lc.ehu.es Universidad del País Vasco | mailto:jmas@es.FreeBSD.ORG Dpto. de Electricidad y Electrónica | http://www.we.lc.ehu.es/~jose Facultad de Ciencias - Campus de Lejona | Tel.: +34-946012479 48940 Lejona (Vizcaya) - SPAIN | Fax: +34-944858139 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "Go ahead... make my day." - H.
