Are you sure there's nothing in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout? I just installed 3.3 (with compat22) and everything works and I've taken 3 machines up to 3.3 with make upgrade and they all worked as well. > How do I get the dreaded X aout libs onto my system? Try reinstalling the compat22 package. If this doesn't work and you are sure you have libs in /usr/X11R6/lib/aout, then you probably don't have your ldconfig set up write on startup - you need to merge your /etc with /usr/src/etc (specifically look in /usr/src/etc/defaults/rc.conf and make sure your own version of rc.conf has the write ldconfig path).
