===jpaetzel@heater ('tty') /home/jpaetzel -> locate libast | more
/usr/X11R6/bin/libast-config
/usr/X11R6/bin/libast-test
/usr/X11R6/include/libast.h
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libast.so.1
Looks to me like your libast is not where Eterm expects it to be. I
would recommend blowing away your current libast install, and install
/usr/ports/devel/libast, then install Eterm.
