I am having trouble with the graphics/dx package on a 1.4 system.
Specifically, when the program dxexec is invoked the loader cannot
resolve the _cerr symbol.  ldd dxexec yields the following:

dxexec:
        -lm.0 => /usr/lib/libm.so.0.1 (0x403a8000)
        -lGL.3 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.3.0 (0x403c1000)
        -lX11.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 (0x40497000)
        -lXext.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.3 (0x40529000)
        -lbz2.0 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.0.0 (0x40533000)
        -lz.0 => /usr/lib/libz.so.0.1 (0x4053e000)
        -lg++.5 => /usr/pkg/lib/libg++.so.5.0 (0x4054c000)
        -lSM.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6.0 (0x4058e000)
        -lICE.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6.3 (0x40596000)
        -lXm.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.2.0 (0x405a8000)
        -lXt.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 (0x406a8000)
        -lc.12 => /usr/lib/libc.so.12.40 (0x406e5000)

The g++ library (from devel/libg++, version libg++-2.8.1.1a) does not
define _cerr, though of course the system-supplied c++ library does.

Should dxexec (and perhaps other programs in this package) be linked
against the system c++ library as well as libg++?

Is anyone actually using this software in its current form?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Brook
