Hi, I haven't been able to determine whether or not this is a problem with FreeBSD or X Windows, so I'm posting this to both lists. Basically, when I go to run XF86Setup (or basically any executable binary in /usr/X11R6/bin) I get the error: ' ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXaw.so.6.1" ' (or something of that nature, I'm back in Win32 typing this up and can't remember the exact phrasing of the error message). The file/library that it reports it can't find *always* exists in /usr/X11R6/lib and this directory has been added to ldconfig's listing (postinst.sh does it automatically, and I've verified that ldconfig is looking in /usr/X11R6/lib (or at least saying it is)). I'm running FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE. The XF86 3.3.3 files extracted without problems. I've actually extracted them twice, once through the "add distributions" in the /stand/sysinstall setup screen, and secondly via /usr/X11R6/extrace *.tgz. Any insight you can give that explains why it simply can't find the libraries would be greatly appreciated. Solutions even more so. Thanks in advance.
