I recently bought an application from a vendor that converts databases
to HTML searchable format.  They supported BSDi so I was hoping I'd 
get lucky and the software would run on our FreeBSD 2.1R systems.
It didn't.  I asked the manufacturer if they would ever port the app to
FreeBSD and a week later they had!!

When I tried to run the app it complained with:

ld.so: bwsearch: Can't find shared library "libc.so.3.0"

which is reasonable, since libc.so.2.2 is the most recent version I have
of that library.

Where can I get libc.so.3.0 ?  Will I have to rebuild the kernel if/when
I get it?  And how did the manufacturer end up with libc.so.3.0 on his
2.1R system?
