Maybe. This error happens when X or X applications are linked to libc.so.5, (perhaps by rebuilding them under -current), but with the main X libraries linked to libc.so.4 or an old version of libc.so.5 (because they were built under RELENG_4 an old version of -current). Everything apparently attempts to use libc.so.5 in this case. Since __sF is no longer exported from libc.so.5, the old X libraries can't find it. This only broke wine for me. wine is not packaged, so I have to build it locally. Otherwise I use only XF386 from an old version of RELENG_4 for X itself, and the packages off the most recent RELENG_4 cdrom for X applications; these all link to libc.so.4 so they were not affected by changes to libc.so.5. I started recompiling the old version of wine that I use because current versions have different bugs which are more harmful in practice, but it has rotted too much to build cleanly. My "fix" was to unstaticize __sF. Bruce To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
