Hi,
I recieved my copy of FreeBSD 2.2.1 a few weeks ago and I just got a
chance to install it in my seperate FreeBSD only machine. I did a fresh
installation rather than upgrade from 2.1.7 The machine runs AMD486/p75
with WD1.6G Hdd.
My problem is that when I try to run c++ programs after compilation the
a.out file does not work. In the a.out file I found the comments:

/usr/libexec/ld.so^@Couldn't open ^@.
^@Failure reading ld.so
^@Bad magic: ld.so
^@Cannot map ld.so (text)
^@Cannot map ld.so (data)
^@Cannot map ld.so (bss)
^@ld.so failed^@: ^@         

I'm not familar with configuring the ld.so file with ldconfig. this
being a new installation I do not know if there should be a problem and
where it might be. And help would be greatly appreciated.
