Mel's question applies as well (and is something that I've wondered too). Now I'm wondering this as well: How/why do you have libncurses* in /usr/local/lib? FreeBSD 7.0 comes with ncurses (see /usr/lib/libncurses.so.7). You must have some port or piece of software on your machine which is requiring an old (compat5x) version of libncurses, or you have a machine that has been upgraded from FreeBSD 5.x to 6.x to 7.x. I really don't know what to make of this. > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 11:47 AM, Jeremy Chadwick <koitsu@freebsd.org> wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 08:12:49AM -0800, tfcheng@gmail.com wrote: > >> learned a new thing, here is the output: > >> /usr/local/bin/xgettext: > >> libgettextsrc-0.17.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextsrc-0.17.so (0x280a9000) > >> libgettextlib-0.17.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextlib-0.17.so (0x280de000) > >> libcroco-0.6.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libcroco-0.6.so.3 (0x281bb000) > >> libxml2.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so.5 (0x281ef000) > >> libz.so.4 => /lib/libz.so.4 (0x2831b000) > >> libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x2832d000) > >> libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x28342000) > >> libicui18n.so.38 => /usr/local/lib/libicui18n.so.38 (0x283f1000) > >> libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x28559000) > >> libpcre.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x28562000) > >> libncurses.so.5.6 => not found (0x0) > >> libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x28591000) > >> libbsdxml.so.3 => /lib/libbsdxml.so.3 (0x28685000) > >> libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x286a3000) > >> libncurses.so.5.6 => not found (0x0) > >> libicuuc.so.38 => /usr/local/lib/libicuuc.so.38 (0x287a4000) > >> libicudata.so.38 => /usr/local/lib/libicudata.so.38 (0x288b9000) > >> libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x29390000) > >> libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x2945b000) > >> > >> it's weird that it still shows libncurses.so.5.6, any thoughts?? thanks!! > > > > It's not weird at all.
