Sorry, I was tired and I made mistakes and forgot a couple of things.

I have FreeBSD 5.3 (from a fresh installation), and I never updated my system/ports. I installed 'jade' from a package: jade-1.2.1_8.

I solved the problem. The reason was that I installed 'sp' (textproc/sp) from a package (sp-1.3.4) (as the 'fdp-primer' says) and it overrited (without saying it conflicts with 'jade') the following programs/libraries:

bin/nsgmls
bin/sgmlnorm
bin/spam
bin/spent
bin/sx
[ header files in include/sp ]
lib/libsp.a
lib/libsp.so.1

So the missing symbol was in '/usr/local/lib/libsp.so.1' (which was overritten by 'sp'):

nm /usr/local/lib/libsp.so.1 | grep _ZNK6Origin14asEntityOriginEv
0009cf04 T _ZNK6Origin14asEntityOriginEv

While doing that in the library from 'sp' outputs nothing.

This is strange: 'fdp-primer' says one need to install it, but it replaces binaries without warning and finally 'jade' does not work.

Thanks and Best Regards,
