On my system they are in, -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 248524 Aug 31 07:33 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 44909 Aug 31 07:33 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 You will not find them in the source since they are X, not FreeBSD. If you have X installed on your system, you need to make sure that the X libs are in the shared lib hints (see ldconfig(8)). If you do not have X installed, either install it if you want it or rebuild emacs and vim making sure not to include X support. -- Crist J.
