It's not weird at all. When a binary is linked to a shared library (during the linking phase), the library filename (libXXX.so.X.X) is stored in the binary, not "libXXX.so". I'm not sure how/why a rebuild xgettext is linking to what appears to be a very old version of libncurses. libncurses.so.5.6 would be for FreeBSD 5.x, I believe; my FreeBSD 6.x machines have libncurses.so.6, and my FreeBSD 7.x + CURRENT machines have libncurses.so.7. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
