In order to install latest ports of Apache1.3 and MySQL 4.20 - I received a
system error informing me to upgrade expat2.
So I run my CVSUP get all the latest ports, then run it again with just
upgrading the BASE.
Now I upgrade to expat2 (expat-1.95.7) which was successful according to
pkg_info:
However, now I can't start X - when I attempt to, I get a gray screen, a
working mouse pointer, and a small message window that reads: "could not
start KDEInit. Check your installation." There is only an "ok" button and
when I click it, it goes back to text mode, with another error message which
is repeated several times:
"/libexec/ld.elf.so.1: Shared object "libexpat.so.4" not found"
I've searched through threads and groups - no luck on this one. Why does
this happen? I've recreated the issue 4 times on different machines with
fresh installs of FreeBSD 5.2.1.
How do I upgrade expat2 without this problem?
Thanks very much for your advice,
Lonnie
