Hey eduardo,
After reading through your reply, i convinced myself that i
should understand a little more about freebsd, and its sources.
I've successfully completed make build/install worlds in the
past, i never really understood how it all worked. Now i realize
how to get back those missing libs, and peruse /usr/src/gnu/lib
properly.
I was able to make install clean and ultimately
retrieving the missing lib.
Thanks for the inspiration
