Re: ghostview missing libc.so.4?
Thanks for the tip - I installed compat4 and lilypond runs fine now. If I remember correctly the compats were installed by default in earlier versions weren't they?

Re: ghostview missing libc.so.4?
You sound like you're running 5.x. You will need to install the compat4x distribution to get FreeBSD-4.x compatibility libraries. You sound lik you should be running 4.x anyway -- 5.x is still a strange mix of bleeding edge and stable -- but it *is* called -CURRENT for a reason.

When I first read your response I thought 'wait a minute - it is a release, so it is stable'. Then I went back and read the info on the web site about 5.1-release. It is a 'release' based on the 'current' 5.0-current. I learned that just becuase it says -release doesn't mean it is based on -stable. Guess I hadn't noticed that before. Anyway, all is working fine now. Thanks. -- Chip ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
