I had FreeBSD-5.4 for about one and a half years. Loading packages with
"pkg_add -r" was very easy. Suddenly "pkg_add -r" no longer works.
Looking at freebsd's ftp sites, they got rid of the 5.4 release. They
now have a 5.5 release. I tried downloading from "packages-5-stable"
and "packages-5.5-stable". About 50 percent of these programs fail. I
get error messages that say something like "/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:
Shared object "libexpat.so.6" not found". I'm not sure, but I think
files ending in "so.6", belong in version 6, not version 5. I have more
than 10 versions of FreeBSD. I tried using packages off these CDs.
some of them worked, but most of the time I keep getting error messages.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance,
bruce
