Description Murray Stokely 2000-03-29 11:30:01 UTC 
  If you install a distribution, sysinstall will run ldconfig to scan
for new ELF libraries, but it will not run ldconfig -aout to scan for
a.out libraries.  This is a real problem for the compat22 distribution
and is the reason that Netscape fails to install during a 4.0
installation.

How-To-Repeat: 
  On a machine without compat22 loaded, try to install the Netscape
package from within sysinstall.  It will fail and tell you to install
compat22, but if you go back and load compat22 then try again it will
still fail because the a.out libraries are installed but not read
until a reboot.

Jordan, this one looks solid.  Let me know if you'd prefer me to 
do it.
