To upgrade from xfree-3 to xfree-4 I removed all my installed
ports but I lost mail program (I use XFMail, sorry for this :-)
It compile and install fine but crashes with this message:
The application crashed due to fatal error
All unfinished messages were saved
_: Report the bug with all the relevant information
using the "Bug report" facility
Missing or failed fl_initialize()--Invalid argument
I tryed demos from xform and they works, so I examied source of
xfmail and discovered that is use libc.so.3, seems that xforms
crashes with original libc.so.3 and works with libc.so.5
I installed compat3x from ports and recompiled world three times
(sigh) also with recent cvsup (last update this morning, GMT+1)
with COMPAT3X=yes and COMPAT4X=yes in /etc/make.conf but it crashes
the same. Finally I tryed this (HACK?) and it works for me.

And now XFMail works :-) This is my first message after a week
of blackout...
