So I run my CVSUP get all the latest ports, then run it again with just upgrading the BASE. Now I upgrade to expat2 (expat-1.95.7) which was successful according to pkg_info: However, now I can't start X - when I attempt to, I get a gray screen, a working mouse pointer, and a small message window that reads: "could not start KDEInit. Check your installation." There is only an "ok" button and when I click it, it goes back to text mode, with another error message which is repeated several times: "/libexec/ld.elf.so.1: Shared object "libexpat.so.4" not found" I've searched through threads and groups - no luck on this one. Why does this happen? I've recreated the issue 4 times on different machines with fresh installs of FreeBSD 5.2.1. How do I upgrade expat2 without this problem? Thanks very much for your advice, Lonnie
