Nearly every port I try to install says:
Error: shared library "foo.bar" does not exist

With each port, foo.bar is different. For example, when installing fvwm2, I 
got:

>>Checksum OK for gtk+-1.2.10.tar.gz.
===>   gtk-1.2.10_3 depends on executable: libtool - found
===>   Returning to build of fvwm-gnome-2.4.6
Error: shared library "gtk12.2" does not exist
*** Error code 1
1 error

I have had similar errors trying to install GNOME (same error, GTK after 
all), X 4.2 itself, and XFree86-Server and a few others.
Presumably these are all related, as these are all popular apps and are not 
likely to all be broken. Perhaps a library directory is not in my lib path 
for some reason, but I have no idea where that would be and, if I did, have 
no idea what path to add.


The output of my uname -a (if needed) is:
FreeBSD palladium 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #1: Tue Apr  9 02:41:47 PDT 
2002     root@palladium:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PALLADIUM  i386


Any ideas?
