Hello again!

I would like to make public the answer given to me by Ron Steele to fix 
the problem with "emacs" and "xemacs" in FreeBSD 2.1.6.

Thanks Ron!

For emacs make a soft link (man ln for help) between libgcc.so.261.0 and
libc.so.<whatever version>

Xemacs that is in the packages is linked with Motif (libXm), which is a 
commercial product.  Fortunately, you don't  have to buy Motif.  There
is
a free clone called lesstif that is in the incoming directory on 
freebsd.cdrom.com.  You need to grab lesstif, pkg_add it and make a soft
link from libXm.so.2.0 to the lesstif library.  Works great.
