Mathematica 6.01 + FBSD 6.3-release

[Rich Winkel]

I'm having problems getting the frontend running.  The kernel seems
to run fine.  Initially the linux loader wasn't seeing the libraries
under SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux (or at least

/compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd
couldn't find them when run on
SystemFiles/FrontEnd/Binaries/Linux/Mathematica )

So I installed
/compat/linux/etc/ld.so.conf.d/Mathematica.conf
containing
/usr/local/mma6/SystemFiles/Libraries/Linux
and ran linux's ldconfig, which updated  the cache and all was fine as
far as ldd was concerned.  
But it still doesn't run and there are no errors.
Does anyone else have this running under 6.3?
Does it need to be installed under /compat/linux ?

Thanks for any help!
