How about ld -L/usr/local/lib -lexpat? Works fine here: gabby# ld -L /usr/local/lib -lexpat /usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memmove' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memcpy' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `malloc' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `realloc' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `memset' /usr/local/lib/libexpat.so: undefined reference to `free' gabby# If some programs can't find it, it's probably because /usr/local/lib isn't in their search path. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
