I have been very, very happy about this OS. That's an artifact of some ports being accidentally linked against wrong (beta-state) libraries. But it's a benign one, IMHO it should work anyway. > xemacs complains about libXm missing. Another artifact, Xemacs unfortunately silently links against Motif if it has been found in the environment on the machine where it is compiled on -- and nobody noticed before 2.1.5 went off to the CDROM. There's a newer binary available on the FTP servers, however. (The Motif went onto thud.freebsd.org shortly before the package collection for 2.1.5 has been prepared. It went there in an effort to make other packages available to the Motif impaired, with libXm statically linked.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
