I tried to Install the XPaint package for freeBSD with add_pkg. 
I was told it required three other packages : jpeg-6, tiff-3, and
xpm-3. I installed these without a problem and then installed XPaint,
but it didn't run. It said : ld.so failed : Can't find shared library
"libpng.so.0.88". Do you know where I can get hold of this file.
Another package, Mosaic, also needs this file.
