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 >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
