Hi, I just finished doing a test install of 4.0-19990914-SNAP, which worked like a champ. The X11 config with 3.3.5 also went great. However, after everything was up and running, I couldn't start an xterm. The following error was reported: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libtermcap.so.2" not found Well, not the correct fix, but to get around the problem I did the following: cd /usr/lib && ln -s libncurses.so libtermcap.so.2 A system from just before the ncurses work shows the following: $ uname -a FreeBSD looney.unx.sas.com 4.0-19990827-SNAP FreeBSD 4.0-19990827-SNAP #0: Thu Sep 2 10:38:29 EDT 1999 root@looney.unx.sas.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/LOONEY i386 $ cd /usr/lib $ ls -al libtermcap* -r--r--r-- 2 root wheel 19126 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 15 Aug 27 10:17 libtermcap.so -> libtermcap.so.2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 14344 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap.so.2 -r--r--r-- 2 root wheel 20356 Aug 27 07:14 libtermcap_p.a So, we may want to add the extra symlink as a default. thanks, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
