FreeBSD 4.10 pkg_add "Shared object "libssl.so.3" not found"?

[Duggan]

I am new to FreeBSD and am using it as linux has a problem with my setup 
that I was unable to resolve.  Anyways, I am liking what I have read 
about FreeBSD.

I am a bit of a control freak and did a custom install of FreeBSD 4.10 
over the net with the required package and all the support docs.  I went 
to install links and this is what happened:

EJINSIDE# pkg_add -r links
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libssl.so.3" not found

I decide to try and do the the same to get bash and the exact same thing 
happened.

I did a google search and found an identical error posted on some 
russian BSD forums, however I was unable interpret the dialog.  I also 
found other errors that were similar but with different files.  Being 
new to FreeBSD these did make much sense to me.

So this brings me to the crux of the matter.  How do I find out what 
exactly is wrong? and how do I fix it?

Any help appreciated.
