I ended up copying the ones from /usr/local/lib/compat into /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg which seemed to fix the problem. Will this solution end up hurting me? Was there an official pathname change to phase out the pkg directory at some point that might warrant updating all of my packages (which I forgot to do)? -- Joe Auty, NetMusician NetMusician helps musicians, bands and artists create beautiful, professional, custom designed, career-essential websites that are easy to maintain and to integrate with popular social networks. www.netmusician.org joe@netmusician.org
