Shared object not found
Brought to you by:

I tried to install the UnixTree binary under FreeBSD 6.
(I am a complete newbie with Unix by the way.) I am not
using XWindows or any graphical interface. When I run
xt, it gives the following cryptic error messaage:
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc_r.so.4"
not found, required by "xt"
I understand that it is trying to load some dynamic
library, but WHICH library, WHY, and how do I make it
happy?
Thanks in anticipation for any help.

I've now fixed the problem: I had to install a package
called "freebsd 4 compatibility" (compat4x). After that, xt
worked well at once. I suggest that this should be mentioned
in the installation notes - it would save people a lot of
mystification (of which there is enough already in Unix for
a DOS person).
