You must keep your system and packages in sync. 5.5 is not out the door yet officially, so using it will be tricky for the moment. http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#NoFun You absolutely, positively can not use 5.4 packages on 5.5. It never works, and this time, it really can't even come close to working. Just compile it for now. and come back next week. :) Nick.
