Problem with installation on FreeBSD 5.3Beta5

[Bartula]

Hi.

I've tried to install lsws on FreeBSD. At the end of the installation script (when trying to start the web server) I get the following error:

Would you like to start it right now [Y/n]? Y

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.4" not found, required by "lshttpd"
[ERROR] Failed to start lshttpd!

[ERROR] Failed to start the web server. For trouble shooting information,
please refer to documents in "/usr/local/lsws/docs/".

Regards,
Andreas

Thank you for the bug report.

You should install FreeBSD 4.x compatible C Library, or just make symbolic link from libc.so.5 to libc.so.4, we heard it works as well.

thx. A symbolic link solved the problem.

Could you explain this in newbie terms?

[mistwang]

Just do the following as root user
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libc.so.5 libc.so.4
This should make lshttpd happy on FreeBSD 5.X

Actually, I am getting:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.2" not found, required by "lshttpd"
[ERROR] Failed to start lshttpd!


There doesn't appear to be a libc.so.1

Am I missing something that I need installed?

[mistwang]

It is libc.so.2 or libm.so.2?
Which version of FreeBSD are you using? Is there any libm.so.? in /usr/lib?
If yes, just create a symbolic link as "libm.so.2".

please do ls /usr/lib/libm.*
