It's a very long-standing problem, going back to 10-current. There's a patch here: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199303 which ought to be committed. This isn't even the first bug report to mention it, the solution has been around since last November. In the meantime you can add the following to /etc/make.conf and build from ports: .if ${.CURDIR:M*/news/pan} LDFLAGS= -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ .endif > Is there a preferred newsreader in FreeBSD other than > pan? It depends what you are trying to do, if you want a general purpose newsreader that can handle text and binaries then nothing open-source comes close to pan in my experience.
