I installed the 2.2-RELEASE versions of xv and xpaint; first
installing the packages they depend on; all using the pkg_add
utility.  No errors were reported.  Machine is a 16MB Pentium
120, and the version of FreeBSD is still 2.2-BETA; I will go
to 2.2.1 as soon as the CD-ROM arrives. (I am assuming that
I will be allowed to buy a copy in Canada ;-> )

Both xv and xpaint dump core when I try to run them.  Anyone
know of anything obvious to try, please?

/home/mike% xv            
Bus error (core dumped)
/home/mike% xpaint
Bus error (core dumped)

Installed packages are:
xpaint-2.4.8.tgz
xv-3.10a.tgz

jpeg-6a.tgz
png-0.89c.tgz
tiff-3.3.tgz
xpm-3.4j.tgz
