 I compiled the reported apps from source using pkgsrc current, pkgsrc 2016Q3=
  and also older versions of pkgsrc.
 By the way libgtop and xosview are standard apps and nobody can change them a=
 s this, they are too complex.
 But they are working OK in versions prior to NetBSD 7 !!
 By example they work ok in NetBSD 6.1, 6.0, 5.2, 5.1, 5.0, 4.x
