>Description:
I just installed the following packages from pointyhat.freebsd.org:

firefox-1.5.0.7,1   Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla
thunderbird-1.5.0.7 Mozilla Thunderbird is standalone mail and news that stands

When I try to run either, I get the following error:

orr:/home/richard$ firefox
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libplds4.so.1: Undefined symbol "gethostbyname_r"

orr:/home/richard$ thunderbird
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/local/lib/libplds4.so.1: Undefined symbol "gethostbyname_r"
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 

http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-packages-latest/www/firefox-1.5.0.7,1.tbz
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-6-packages-latest/mail/thunderbird-1.5.0.7.tbz

and try to run either program.
>Fix:
Unknown -- I plan to try rebuilding the packages myself using the ports tree.

I found libplds4.so in the pkg-plist for linux-firefox and linux-thunderbird:

lib/%%APP_NAME%%/libplds4.so
