This fixes it. Thanks.
On a related note though, another library lacking from linux_base-7 is
libstdc++. This causes linux-netscape to fail on startup. Realizing
that certain choices have to be made in what gets included in "base" and
realizing that "base" already includes a large amount of stuff, perhaps
the following taxonomy would be good to consider:
1) linux_base -- containing the must-have-or-linuxator-won't run stuff;
2) linux_plus -- containing linux_base, 'strip', libstdc++, and any
other stuff required for other ports to run that need more than base but
less than developer
3) linux_devtool -- everything and the "kitchen sink" needed to
cross-compile

jmc
MacroHard -- the perfection of form over
substance, marketing over
performance, and greed over
design . . .
