Hi Greg ...

i tried it for a long time now, an get my Software form Ultrix to run. For
normal operation it was enough for me to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable
to get my shareable libraries to work. My only problem was to start an
remote frame buffer in inetd.conf. for this i needed to copy the libraries
to /usr/lib. BTW what is the difference in setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
ld.so.conf ?

cheers, 
emanuel

P.S. Thanks Jonathan, for the pointer tp lib.mk.bsd ....
