Yep, I managed to do it! I'm probably the first person in history to ever do it, too! Darn it. History: Well, it all started when i couldnt run a certain linux binary under emulation. I decided to symlink an existing file (libstdc++.so.3) to the required file (libstdcc++.so.5). No luck. Well, seeing how it did not work, i decided to remove the symbolic link - only to accidentally remove the original libstdc++.so.3. Consequences: Mozilla refuses to run. Abiword refuses to run. Countless other programs refused to run, as they required this elf lib. Attempted Fixes: Maybe a buildworld would do the trick, I thought; it was also time for me to update my sources also. => Buildworld fails when it couldn't find the file. Arrrrggh! Short of deinstalling Freebsd, is there anything else i could do to get that missing file, or at least build it from existing sources? I haven't done anything else as stupid as this, so my filesystems/crucial files should be intact. Any advice welcome :) ps: this is my first post, so i don't know if it will actually go through. Hope it does
