When you convert your -CURRENT system to ELF (using "make auto-to-elf"), as part of that process it will move any a.out libraries from the /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib directories into subdirectories called aout. If you update your /etc directory properly after this including /etc/rc and /etc/rc.conf, the linker will also search these aout directories for libraries at run time so your Netscape binary will still be able to find the a.out XFree86 libraries and will still run. To avoid having heaps of old a.out libraries lying around, I removed all my ports (except XFree86) using pkg_delete port-name so that when I ran "make aout-to-elf", it would only move the XFree86 libraries into the aout subdirectory. After the conversion to ELF I them removed XFree86 (but it left the a.out libraries behind as it didn't expect them to be in an aout subdirectory). I then rebuilt XFree86, kde, tcsh etc so they'd be in ELF. oZZ!!! wrote: > > On Sun, 11 Oct 1998, Edwin Culp wrote: > > > "oZZ!!!" wrote: > > > > > Hello! > > > How can i run netscape-4.07 under FreeBSD-3.0-ELF with XFree86-ELF ?? > > > If it not possible - how can i run another X-browser ? > > > Opera or somethink else? > > > > > > Rgdz, > > > Осокин Сергей aka oZZ, > > > osa@etrust.ru > > > > > > > I don't now about 4.07 but we run 4.5b2 right out of the box in the > > default directory /usr/lib with no problems.
