I had *completely* forgotten it was there - have just moved to FreeBSD from Linux, after three years of dithering!, and had not removed that line when I brought my .bashrc with me.

FreeBSD 7.0 release, ports currently up-to-date

Now I *think* that what it ought to load is

but it goes for the FreeBSD X extension lib instead.
Can anyone help me to fix this?
Please, show an output for:

Spot on!!Many thanks :-) What I don't understand is why that works, when /compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf points at the right place in the very first line! I suspect some OO executable or lib has some search paths hardcoded which the linker checks before using the ldconfig cache. If you want you could check this with: objdump -p executable | grep RPATH That gets me a objdump: soffice: File format not recognized Also, when a Linux program opens a file (i.e. libXext.so.6), FreeBSD first tries to find it under /compat/linux, then under /. So linker tries to open /usr/local/lib/libXext.so, but it didn't exist under /compat/linux so it got the FreeBSD libXext.so.

Just to summarise :-) So far this description above fits my situation exactly - everything is where you say it should be, and everything worked until a couple of days ago. Having done a portupgrade -akOP recently things appear tio have gone wrong with the results as described originally. For some reason /usr/compat/linux/opt/openoffice.org2.4/program/soffice.bin can't find the linux library which is where you describe it, until I make a symlink, linking /compat/linux/usr/local to X11R6 - then soffice works but other things break If neither exist (or exist but are corrupted), then the linux binary will fall back to the bogus FreeBSD one in another search path. But doesn't the above suggest that A. It exists and B.

The culprit is the first path. It results in non-standard linux
path-finding. If you remove it all _linux_ troubles should go away.
I said linux since assume that there was a reason why you has
that path at the first place.
