I have a couple packages added to my system: emacs which I added by using pkg_add, and ghostscript which I believe I with added with stand/sysinstall when I first installed FreeBSD. Apparently, I had forgotten that I already added ghostscript, so when I tried pkg_add, it said it was already installed. However, when I tried to pkg_add ghostview, it refused, saying it would be useless without ghostscript!! #gs gs: Command not found However, find / -name "ghost*" showed that it was on my system. #emacs emacs: Command not found I was sure that was the command for emacs, and I had just used pkg_add to install it, so I rebooted. Amazingly, it came back with a different set of errors: # emacs /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 : shared object libXaw.so.6 not found and #gs /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 : shared object libXt.so.6 not found #find / -name "libXaw.so.6" /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 /usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXaw.so.6 #find / -name "libXt.so.6" /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/compat/linux/usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib/libXt.so.6 So they are on my system. Do I need to create symbolic links by hand?? Why do I have X11R6 files and directories if I haven't installed XFree86 on this system?? Or is that my problem?? These seem like Linux compatibility files, isn't emacs native to Unix?? Anyway, what should I do?? In the future, should I use ports or packages if both are available?? Thanx!!
