I installed latex from TexLive DVD (2015) on NetBSD 7.0 amd64.

xelatex from above package seems to have dependency on fontconfig.so.2,
which doesn't seem to be available on NetBSD.

Wonder how this situation is possible if the DVD consists of pre-compiled
binaries.

[ A correction: I realize while I write this, when I installed from DVD, I
was having NetBSD i386, which I later changed to amd64 for no specific
reason. But I do not know whether it relates with above issue. ]
