I just installed my first current box (19991115) and ran into a couple of
glitches with libraries and X. I installed the X-Kern-Developer and then
added some extras from custom. The errors I encountered (paraphrased) were:
missing libc.so.3 and libtermcap.so.2.
# XF86Setup

libc.so.3 not found
# xf86config

then, within X; xterm and emacs didn't run
in Gnome Terminal:
# xterm &
libtermcap.so.2 not found
# ftp <same 3.2-STABLE box>
<. get /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2 .>
# xterm &
<works>
The machine is a PII 300 w/ 1.5GB BSD partition (DOS/WFW and NT are also on
drive); it had been running an older 3.x, but I remade the slices during the
install.
