Hello, I recently found out that my troubles compiling the ruby port was related to an old (stale) library file in /usr/lib. Removing that file allowed ruby to compile. However, I have problems compiling other ports. When I check a few directories on my machine, Inotice that I have other old files layiing around. Here is /lib as an example: root@kg-g4# ls -l /lib total 6732 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 14 22:24 geom -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 47416 Jan 7 12:27 libalias.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9868 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_cuseeme.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8764 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_dummy.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 12188 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_ftp.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 10968 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_irc.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11180 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_nbt.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11000 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_pptp.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9756 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_skinny.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 12188 Jan 7 12:27 libalias_smedia.so -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 16084 Nov 5 2005 libatm.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 16084 Jan 7 12:27 libatm.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 18104 Jan 7 12:27 libbegemot.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 143252 Jan 7 12:28 libbsdxml.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 61264 Jan 7 12:27 libbsnmp.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 989328 Nov 5 2005 libc.so.6 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1145336 Jan 7 12:27 libc.so.7 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 70012 Jan 7 12:28 libcam.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 36968 Jan 7 12:27 libcrypt.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1179712 Nov 5 2005 libcrypto.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1396692 Jan 7 12:30 libcrypto.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 27048 Jan 7 12:28 libdevstat.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 105180 Jan 7 12:28 libedit.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 19712 Jan 7 12:28 libgeom.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 13196 Nov 5 2005 libgpib.so.1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 29032 Jan 7 12:28 libipsec.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11452 Jan 7 12:28 libipx.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 14060 Jan 7 12:28 libkiconv.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 27108 Jan 7 12:27 libkvm.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 140556 Jan 7 12:27 libm.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 56796 Jan 7 12:27 libmd.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 298988 Jan 7 12:27 libncurses.so.6 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 169244 Jan 7 12:28 libpcap.so.4 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 146644 Jan 7 12:28 libpthread.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 222476 Jan 7 12:28 libreadline.so.6 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 11452 Jan 7 12:27 libsbuf.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 16232 Jan 7 12:28 libufs.so.3 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 54208 Nov 5 2005 libutil.so.5 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 58348 Jan 7 12:27 libutil.so.6 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 76312 Jan 7 12:28 libz.so.3 Notice that several files have an older cousin dated "Nov 5 2005"? Now the question: is it safe to remove those files? -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norwayhome | help
