did a 'make install' for linux-firefox I got an error that

after some googling and a few bad leads for some reason I did another
make install and got no errors . . . but now linux-firefox won't run
because libXfixes.so.3 is missing . . .

What linux- packages have you installed?

I get . . .

[jaguar] ~# pkg_info | grep linux

linux_base-8-8.0_14 Base set of packages needed in Linux mode (for i386/amd64)

why do u have 2 _base ? u only need -fc (_base-8 is outdated)




and:
$ locate libXfixes


[jaguar] ~# locate libXfixes
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3
/usr/ports/x11/libXfixes
/usr/ports/x11/libXfixes/Makefile
/usr/ports/x11/libXfixes/distinfo
/usr/ports/x11/libXfixes/pkg-descr
/usr/ports/x11/libXfixes/pkg-plist

that' very strange... my linux libXfixes is
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfixes.so.3 -> libXfixes.so.3.0

but neither of them is owned by any pkg (pkg_info -W ... shows zilch)....
pkg_info -L linux-XFree* doesnt show them either...

sorry, cant look much more into this now... this thing called 'work' keeps
nagging ;)
