I have just redone the locate database with /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb so I know the locate database is current. When I try running startx, I get immediately an error message saying: ld.so failed: Can't find shared library "(some library)" where (some library) is something like libXMtu.so.6.0 (not sure about what's between the X and the first .) I located the library in the /usr/X11R6/lib dir and when I did an ldconfig -r it showed: /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints: search directories:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib: /usr/local/lib BTW, I just upgraded my system to FreeBSD 3.0-stable through cvsup and make aout-to-elf (build and install). Redid my whole /etc and /dev according to the tutorials on these pages: http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.html Worked like a charm to upgrade, but now X won't start... Also, the kernel doesn't seem to detect more than 64 MB ram even though I specified 128 MB but that's a minor concern for now. Anyone know how to make ld.so find the libraries that actually are in it's search path? Thanks!
