Hi,
I just upgraded from 8.2 -> 9.0 using freebsd-update, my first time
for the binary upgrade. Since the upgrade, I've been getting these
unable to load "gnomesegvhandler" messages from various software, such
as emacs.
Any idea what I can do to fix his?
The upgrade went fairly smoothly, altho
Another little problem in 9.0 is building openjdk6. Should anyone else
get this message while compiling:
Unable to load ZIP library: /usr/local/diablo-jrel.6.0/lib/amd64/libzip.so
or something similar, adding
libz.so.4 libz.so.5
to /etc/libmap.conf seems to solve it.
Have a nice day :)
