In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org That sounds like a little gotcha with the 2.2.2 -> 2.2.7 upgrade. Make sure you merge in all the /etc changes, esp. rc and rc.conf. Someone changed the way ldconfig search paths are set. The old way was that if the various libdirs existed, they were added. The new way requires them to be specified in rc.conf... You're probably stretching a bit posting this on -security :) Charles --- Charles Sprickman spork@super-g.com --- "...there's no idea that's so good you can't ruin it with a few well-placed idiots."
