Hello Family,

I'm having a hell of time trying to build /usr/ports/x11/eterm/
with consistant errors of:

=========================
ERROR:  You need the LibAST package to build Eterm.  If you
already have it, you may have it installed in a strange place, 
or you may need to run /sbin/ldconfig.  If you don't have it, 
I can download it for you.

Shall I retrieve and build LibAST now (y/n)?

y

configure: error: Fatal:  libast not found.

=========================

And I installed from a tarball the package called:

libast-0.4.tar.gz

=========================
Then when it failed again with the same error went to search for
where anything like libast existed at and got:

[root@yoga /usr/ports/x11/eterm]-> find /usr/ -name "libast*"
-print
/usr/local/bin/libast-config
/usr/local/bin/libast-test
/usr/local/include/libast.h
/usr/local/lib/libast.so.1
/usr/local/lib/libast.so
/usr/local/lib/libast.la
/usr/local/lib/libast.a
/usr/local/libast-0.4.tar.gz
/usr/local/libast-0.4
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast-config.in
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast.spec.in
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast.h
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast_internal.h
/usr/local/libast-0.4/test/.libs/libast-test
/usr/local/libast-0.4/test/libast-test
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast-config
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast.spec
/usr/local/libast-0.4/.libs/libast.so.1
/usr/local/libast-0.4/.libs/libast.so
/usr/local/libast-0.4/.libs/libast.a
/usr/local/libast-0.4/.libs/libast.lai
/usr/local/libast-0.4/.libs/libast.la
/usr/local/libast-0.4/libast.la
=========================

So, I figured I'd try and help a little and ran the command:

ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib

And for the hell of it after that failed again:

ldconfig -m /usr/local/libast-0.4

=========================

So, can anyone help out here a little as to how to get Eterm
installed on FreeBSD-4.5 ?

TIA
