If so, ftp to ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD in your version dir, look for compat3x, grab the files in the dir, and run the .sh. If you have a direct connect, run /stand/sysinstall and goto configure, distributions. 2) no. it would compile libc.so.4 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: Help! can't 'startx' - missing libc.so
Using /stand/sysinstall to (re-) install compat3x solved the problem! It was really pretty quick and easy. Thanks again, everyone!

Re: Help! can't 'startx' - missing libc.so
/stand/sysinstall go to the post install configure option then to Distribution sets and then to 3x compat libraries. It will prompt you to choose your install preference.FTP, CDROM, etc. On 26 Jun 2000, at 0:36, John Daniels wrote: > Hi: > > > >From: Adam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Try installing the compat3x distribution portion of freebsd > > > You are the second person who has suggested this.

I don't have a CD, but I did keep some system sources. (but I think it might've only been 'kernel source').

Hi: >This would probably be more appropriate on -questions. > Yes, that's why I apologized for posting it here. It has been posted on -questions for several hours but I haven't got an answer, it is getting very late on the east coast and I need to resolve this by tomorrow. Again, I apologize for the post, and I thank you for responding. >I take it the problem started when you updated?

I believe that I must have accidentally removed the file today. I did a 'make' in XFree86 to see if the libc.so file was created, but it wasn't. I don't want to go on and do 'make install' unless that is definitely be the correct solution. Can I compile the libc.so.3 from /usr/src/lib/libc? What would be the exact command?

Re: Help! can't 'startx' - missing libc.so
This would probably be more appropriate on -questions. I take it the problem started when you updated? Sounds like you may need to recompile your X server or install compat3x (the latter is the sane choice) -Dan On Sun, Jun 25, 2000 at 11:46:24PM -0400, John Daniels wrote: > Hi: > > I am using 4.0-STABLE > > John > > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
