I've tried to update 6.3 to 7 using the sh freebsd-update.sh -f

gone well untill I started getting lib-XXX.so4 missing file here and
libphp.so missing there. I'm guessing that the update process has
deleatd some shared libararies which are still required.

I have the files in question, but instead of XXX.so.4, the file is
called XXX.so.5

I followed the instructions to the 'T' but nothing seems to work i.e
MailScanner, apache etc.

I've tried portupgrade -af to see if I can link the ports to the new lib
files, but alas nothing.

Anyone got any ideas??

Perhaps someone has a better suggestion for you, but I had a similar
issue with regard to installing VMware Tools. In my case, I symlinked
libc.so.5 linked to libc.so.6, and the VMware Tools installation
proceeded.

Ah yes, I forgot about bogus advice option 2 :-)

As I said, someone might have a better suggestion, as I'm a relative noob. My
point was to try symlinking your needed library file to that which you find
on your system. I'd think it'd be worth a try. But, hey, if it's bogus
advice (option 2 :-) ), then best of luck.
