 * I don't subscribe to freebsd-ports, so this may be old news already.
 * I updated to 2.1-951104-SNAP and tried to install fvwm, which requires
 * xpm.
 * 
 * Specifically, I got
 * 
 *   fvwm-1.24r.tgz
 *   xpm-3.4f.tgz

Did you do this manually, i.e., using pkg_add?  Or did you do it from
inside the installer?

 * But after installing and running fvwm, you get
 * 
 *   ld.so: fvwm: Can't find shared library "libXpm.so.4.6"
 * 
 * because xpm-3.4f.tgz installs libXpm.so.4.5 instead of libXpm.so.4.6...
 * Question: is there another older package of fvwm or a newer package
 * of xpm I should go find?

Hmm.  You are the second person (if I remember correctly) that
complained fvwm not being able to find libXpm.  I have no idea how
this can happen.

Jordan, do you have any idea?  The one in "packages/" also had 4.6 in
it, so that can't be the reason.

The only thing I can think of is the user used "tar" instead of
"pkg_add" and the new library didn't get registered into the ld.so
cache....
