I had this problem compiling x11/sessre port:

I found ttyslot in man page. Then I made a little thisprogram to test:

"
#include        <stdio.h>
#include        <unistd.h>


main()
{
        printf( "%d\n",ttyslot() );
}
"

Result:

"
goffredo:[1004] cc -s -o ttyslot_test ttyslot_test.c
/tmp//ccyJQC88.o: In function `main':
ttyslot_test.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `ttyslot'

"

I worked around downloading and installing the old package below:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/9.0-RELEASE/packages/x11/sessreg-1.0.7.tbz


>How-To-Repeat:
Compile this program:

"
#include        <stdio.h>
#include        <unistd.h>


main()
{
        printf( "%d\n",ttyslot() );
}
"
