This problem cropped up out of the blue, and a back-up and 
re-install did not fix it.

I have (had) a working-perfectly 2.1.0R installation of 
FreeBSD, with which I was greatly pleased.  Apache, uemacs. 
bash, etc. (even "unknown" Netscape).  In my usual fashion, I 
began playing around with configurations, fouled some things up 
pretty good, and what-the-heck, nothing crucial is running, so 
I just went ahead and reinstalled.

Apache, popper, popclient, and uemacs now claim that 
libc.so.3.0 cannot be found.  This does not seem surprising, 
since libc.so.2.2.0 is the version in residence, and has been 
all along.

Is there a libc.so.3.0? That would seem to be the easiest way 
to fix things, even assuming that the error should not be 
happening in the first place.  ldconfig seems to be doing its 
job.
 
I have no idea.  Whatsoever.  And really, I'm not as stupid as 
this sounds.
