There isn't a COMPAT4X library available and the 5.0 has the same version number and libcam.so has a reference to __sF. There probably aren't many apps that use libcam, so this is perhaps stretch. Well, consider libm.so and the 8000 ports. As to my particular problem, a cross-platform environment won't be of much use because NAG hard-coded several paths into their app, e.g., /usr/bin/cc. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
