Well, it is the preferred way prior to when packages are available. And I have yet to see XFree86's make world die on me, and that's all releases in the 3.x series. >So I download any X*.tar.gz I need at ftp.cdrom/com/ pub/XFree86 and >install it mannually by [snip] >This only take 40min. to complete. > >After that, my XFree86 3.3.6 works with no problems until running >netscape 4.7 navigator.

Well since it asks for libXt.so.6.0 I am assuming that you don't have a.out libraries installed for XFree and those are needed for Netscape. So I think you do have to wait until the package gets build by Satoshi Asami or make it from ports. -- Jeroen Ruigrok vd W/Asmodai asmodai@[wxs.nl|bart.nl|freebsd.org] Documentation nutter/B-rated Coder BSD: Technical excellence at its best The BSD Programmer's Documentation Project <http://home.wxs.nl/~asmodai>; If we do not start at the beginning, we have no hope to arrive...
