I am the person who originated this question, so let me follow it up. I originally need libXpm.so.3.4 to run some X-window-managers. Steve Passe ( credit where credit is due) pointed me towards the -current port for XPM, so I grabbed xpm-3.4e.tar.gz from FreeBSD-current/ports... Oddly enuough, after the following the make and make instructions (per README file), my libXpm.so file was installed as libXpm.so.4.5... I did a symlink from libXpm.so.3.4 to the newly instaed libXpm.so.4.5 and my new x-games, piewm, ctwm, olvwm, et al, ran ok -- or so I hope. [DEVELOPMENT RELATED QUESTION] BTW, I'm still looking for a way to tweak the MAXIMUM # of file descriptors per process (_SC_MAX_OPEN) from 64 to something like 256, at least. I am not a subcriber to the development groups, and I would like to get your feed back before I hit the Usenet. You gals/guys are great! I got out of a few tight spots thankx to you guys. As always, Thankx for a great product and support. TR Nguyen
