You need the a.out support to make it work, however I think you can install those libraries using /stand/sysinstall. Go to post-installation configuration, install additional distribution sets and somewhere in there is 2.x compatibility. This was all I had to do to make Netscape work. -- R Joseph Wright *I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues --Duke Ellington* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
