For example, some of the GNOME libraries would be up to .so.45 or so by now. The configure scripts do a pretty good job of telling people what version they need. The only problem is that the resulting error messages can be a little obscure. The real solution is the NetBSD version dependency mechanisms. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
