Hi

xsel does not work on NetBSD because elf loader cannot find
libraries xsel needs.

  $ xsel
  Shared object "libSM.so.6" not found
  $ ldd xsel
  /usr/local/bin/xsel:
          -lSM.6 => not found
          -lICE.6 => not found
          -lXext.6 => not found
          -lX11.6 => not found
          -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12

There are three ways to prevent the problem.

 a. set LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/X11R6/lib
 b. modify ld.so.conf
 c. compile xsel with compiler option '-Wl,-R/usr/X11R6/lib'

NetBSD community recommends c. but this solution is so NetBSD
specific that I don't think adding rpath is good idea.
(http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/elf.html)

NetBSD users should take a. or b. for the meantime
until NetBSD package is available.
