No, actual firefox-bin is only linked with libpthread.so.2 (directly with -lpthread) # wget ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6-stable/Latest/firefox.tbz # mkdir firefox ; tar xjf firefox.tbz -C firefox # scanelf -nR . | grep c_r -- Timothy `Drizzt` Redaelli - http://dev.gentoo.org/~drizzt/ FreeSBIE Developer, Gentoo Developer, GUFI Staff There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
