When I get home tonight I'll take a look at what you did (this was my first FreeBSD port attempt). | What's up with libcompat? The issue is that currently libcompat gets linked in with libsocks5_sh.so. This means that libcompat gets pulled in whenever LD_PRELOAD is used with libsocks5_sh.so. This causes sed to goes bonkers when you do a "runsocks make" in a port. The reason for doing the "runsocks make", is that when ncftp gets called it will now be socks'ified. I've been working with Dave Blob (the author), and we are looking at eliminating libcompat totally from Socks5. It looks like we can, as the archie client was the only thing using the old re_comp stuff and it has it's own version of it. We talked about a Makefile solutions as well. Also I haven't been rushing on this problem since most of the details I've been working out has just been made possible with the addition of LD_PRELOAD support in -current. So until now nobody would run into these problems and I wanted a solution that would get rolled back into the Socks5 release. So far Dave has been extremely willing to roll my changes to support FreeBSD "out-of-the-box" into his release. | p.s. Rod, no, the default is staying in /usr/local/etc, but I made it trivial | for someone to change it to /etc by just editing the top level makefile. Sounds good. Doug A.
