Hi. I was just getting ready to CVSup the latest RELENG_2_2 so I could help in testing. So I looked at the send-pr command to submit the bug reports... but while installing the CVSup package, I had a problem.. I put in the modula-3-lib package, then the cvsup-13.5 package. But when I ran cvsup ld.so complained about not being able to find libz.so.2.0. So I ftp'ed to ftp.freebsd.org and grabbed the /pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/lib/libz/* files and comiled them up with the default makefile. It only made a libz.a and libz_p.a. I put them in /usr/lib but obvioulsy there was no libz.so.2.0. So I set about learning how to do shared libraries -- I'm glad this problem came up cause it gives me an excuse to learn about the shared library stuff :-) Anyways, I'm still looking up the shared lib stuff (I'm new to Unix and I love hitting problems like this cause I like trying to figure everything out for myself), but now back to the send-pr(1) question: The man page mentions I need a submitter-id. So I typed: send-pr --request-id. Of course, then I realized that I was on my machine at home connected over a dial-up line and I didn't tell it my email address so I'm assuming there's no way for me to get my unique sid back -- correct?? Plus, the man page (if I read it correctly) says if I'm contacting the FreeBSD project, that I can just run send-pr "out of the box" and it will have a customer id already. Is that true, or should I still bother with the --request-id business?? I can so a send-pr from a machine that's got a permanent connection to the net - so is this the best thing to do? Sorry for the long message, but I want to get this right so I can be useful in helping with the testing.. TIA, -Mark Now, back to figuring out how to turn a .a and _p.a into a .so lib..... I was hoping ldconfig was all that was involved, but now I see that ldconfig is just for telling ld.so where it's .so libs are!
