We are running 2.1.5-RELEASE on our boxes, and I want to rebuild the
libraries to include a patch for the locale security bug.  Whenever I
try and install the libraries I've built, though, I get errors from
send-mail saying that _res_init is not found.

I'm cd-ing to the /usr/src/lib directory and typing "make;make
install" and then running "ldconfig /usr/lib /usr/local/lib".  Is
there something that I'm being boneheaded and not doing that would
cause it to miss the res_init?  I've used nm on the shared libraries,
and it tells me that while the 2.1.5 distributed library has _res_init
defined, my library defines ___res_init.

Thanks,

Nat
