(previous email to be ignored, mistyping)

As mentioned on numerous occasions in this list, you should have backed up your a.out
X libraries before moving to ELF, since Netscape (and others) are still assuming
FreeBSD is an a.out system. The error you're getting is fairly clear in this regard
(netscape looks for an a.out format libXt.so -- the ELF format libraries do not use
so.X.Y naming convention).

Pick up the a.out libraries from ftp.xfree86.org, move them to /usr/X11R6/lib/aout,
add that to your a.out ld path, you're in.

Best Regards,
