>Organization:
none
>Environment:
FreeBSD io.ntsucks.net 3.2-STABLE FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #1: Fri Jul 30 06:02:52 PDT 1999     root@io.ntsucks.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/IO  i386

>Description:
COMPAT22=YES is not enabled by default in /etc/make.conf in 3.2-RELEASE. 
Netscape port won't build without COMPAT-22 aout libs.

Since this impedes the installation of an important piece of software,
it should be regarded as a serious ergonomic problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
1. install minimal base from installation disks
2. install cvsup from packages
3. update source tree from STABLE branch
4. merge /etc (accept COMPAT22 addition in make.conf, but don't enable it)
5. install XFree86 from ports
6. install  netscape46-communicator from ports

error message:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ There are no aout libs on this machine. Install compat22 distribution. +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

>Fix:
1. enable COMPAT22=YES in make.conf
2. make world
3. re-attempt installation of netscape
