Since you're runing 4.3, I assume you built from source. You need to
install the 3.x compatability libraries. That's in
/usr/src/lib/compat/compat3x.i386. I think "make && make install" as
root in that directory will do the trick. For future use, add
COMPAT3X=yes to /etc/make.conf.

That's in the 3.x compatability libraries as well.

v5 works fine on my 4.3-RC system. Even if you get v4 working, I'd
recommend upgrading - a lot of the things that really annoyed me about
v4 were fixed in v5.

If you're interested, I wrote a review of v5. It's a brief look at
most of the things that come with the package (I haven't done builder
yet), highlighting the strong and weak points of each. You can find it
