Installing linux libraries not in /usr/ports

[Norberto Meijome]

Hello all,
I'm testing the latest skype beta for linux from skype's site (1.4 ), ideally viewing to update the port while learning in the process.

I've resolved all dependencies so far (listed after my sig), except for :

libsigc-2.0.so.0 => not found

I do have libsigc++ 2. installed in my system, but I believe I need the linux version , correct?

Now, linux-libsigc doesn't exist in ports. I'm faced with 2 options:

1) installing libsigc from FC4 (the linux subsystem version I'm using) via RPM , but it seems only 1.5 has been packaged - i can't seem to find 2.0 anywhere.

2) installing libsigc from source from chroot in /usr/compat/linux - does this make sense? advisable?  What ports would be needed to build? i cant seem to find linux-gcc or similar?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

TIA!!
B
