Hi,

I'm having difficulties running several applications with my 2.1.6-RELEASE
FreeBSD system.
For example, when I try to start up the fvwm X Windows manager, I get this
error message:

ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.6"

Again with X Windows emacs-19.14 I get another error:

ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "libgcc.so.261.0"

I searched all over my system files and could not find any lib files with
libXpm or libgcc.
Also, I believe I received a similar error message when trying to use xv.

Since I couldn't find any of these required libraries, I searched the
ftp.freebsd.com site, but
wasn't able to find them.

Can you please point me to the exact ftp site and relative directory or
full path where I could
locate and download these libraries?  Also, do you know if I'd need any
other lib files for such
applications as I've described.

By the way, I installed my system with the ftp over the network option, so
the installation might
have missed some lib files needed for X Windows.

Thank you very much for any help,
Daniel
