Just like we have compat21, I guess we'll need compatX11aout. compatX11aout will need to take the latest a.out 3.0 X11 libs and repackage them so the tarball has them in lib/aout. And makesure you don't forget the "-C /usr/X11R6" argument to tar. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.ucdavis.edu -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
