, the eiffelstudio program from the eiffelstudio port fails with:

Shared object "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400" not found, required by "estudio"

After creating a bunch of version-twidding symlinks to ~/lib (such as ~/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400 -> /usr/local/lib/eiffelstudio/studio/spec/freebsd-x86/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600) and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ~/lib, the program fails with:

/h/lib/libc.so.5: invalid file format
