i don't know if this is the proper way to find it... but i did a "find /
-name expat.4" which yielded no results.

i'm assuming this library does not exist.  

as for the installation.  the port information about expat-2 reveals the
following:

$ make search name=expat
Port:   expat-1.95.5
Path:   /usr/ports/textproc/expat2
Info:   XML 1.0 parser written in C
Maint:  kuriyama@FreeBSD.org
Index:  textproc
B-deps: libtool-1.3.4_4
R-deps:


i found v.1.95.5 on the sourceforge site... but the ports will not get
this version... it will build expat-1.95.4.

what i did was pure experimentation, because i really don't know how this
all works.

however, i downloaded the latest build of expat and did a tar -xvf... what
i believe was /usr/ports/textproc/expat2/files/work (which was where i
found the source files) and then i tried doind a "make && make install"

however, this didn't resolve the problem either.

so where can i find the libraries if i am not looking in the proper
place... and how do i make the link... and what do i make the link to?
