So, I basically upgraded my source again and did installworld. Had to run make quite a few times because it appeared that the makefile for /usr/src was broken (or at least the targets were incorrect since it kept on complaining about stuff not being compiled in buildworld). So I ran mergemaster, and things appeared to be running smoothly, but now it appears that my system is screwed up, due to bash. Granted, I used bash as my login shell for both root and my local account, and to solve this problem I tried recompiling the program from ports in single user mode, but every single time I login it complains about not being able to find libintl.so.6 (I believe), which is a part of gettext. I eventually gave up on trying to reinstall and fix bash and gettext, but when I try and login, the stupid machine still claims to be missing the library, regardless of the fact that it's no longer my login shell and I sed'ed both /etc/shells and /etc/passwd and /etc/ master.passwd so that they no longer have bash in them. I'm just basically stumped and I need a lot of help here, because the machine's inaccessible (the rc 'daemon' complains all the variables setup in rc.conf aren't valid--although they are), and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thank you very much in advance! -Garrett
