 Or, in this case, install the proper package.
 The submitter refers to a 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD installation, however
 the package wants libc.so.5.  AFAIK, libc.so.5 is only present in
 5.0-CURRENT - 4.x still has libc.so.4.
 
 Ken, are you sure that you are not trying to install packages for -current?
 You should be using the ones for 4.x-stable.
 
 G'luck,
 Peter
