Hello, Two days before, I installed a fresh FreeBSD 3.1-Release from offical CD-ROM, and then cvsup it as 3.4-STABLE via my low speed 56kps line. I didn't install the old verion of XFree86 of course. I want to run XFree86 3.3.6! At first I install XFree86 3.3.6 by 3.4-STABLE's sysinstall but fail. (I discover there is only XFree86 3.3.5 package at ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/release/i386/3.4-RELEASE). Despite to my low speed line, I cannot help to install 3.3.6 by XFree86 binary distribution method but not by FreeBSD ports method. I do not want to wait 2 hours to download two big src.tar.gz and then wait 1.5 hours again to compile it as well as taking with the risk of failure. So I download any X*.tar.gz I need at ftp.cdrom/com/ pub/XFree86 and install it mannually by $ su - # mkdir /usr/X11R6 # cd /usr/X11R6 # sh /tmp/preinst.sh # tar zxvf /tmp/Xbin.tgz # tar zxvf .... # tar zxvf ... # sh /tmp/postinst.sh This only take 40min. to complete. After that, my XFree86 3.3.6 works with no problems until running netscape 4.7 navigator. When I launch netscape, it refuse with a error message "ld.so -- cannot find libXt.so.6.0" That is ture , my system really have not "libXt.so.6.0" . At the directory /usr/X11R6/lib, I only found libXt.so.6 and it's soft link libXt.so. I try soft link "libXt.so.6" to "libXt.so.6.0" but not success. Now I have no gui brower. No matter which native freebsd netscape version I choose from ports, the result is the same. May you help me? I need netscape to brower english & chinese web page in X.
