Hello,

Here is what happened when I tried the below solution:

I created a directory /lib under /boot/home/config/bin and placed the
obos library files there.  I continued getting "Symbol not found"
errors.  

It was suggested on #obenbeos that I put the net tools and library
files into a different location.  I created an arbitrary location
/boot/home/programming/obos/net and put the tools there.  I created a
./lib folder and put the libraries there.  Same errors:  "Symbol not
found".  If I open a window and try to launch the program (ex.
ifconfig) by clicking, it tells me "Symbol not found: _res".  This is
the same error for all the tools.

Also suggested on #openbeos was to look at the output of:

strings ./libnet.so | grep _res

here it is:

__res_hnok
__res_opt
__res_send
__res_ownok
__res_mailok
__res_dnok
_res_opcodes
_res_resultcodes
__fp_resstat
__res_randomid
__res_isourserver
__res_nameinquery
__res_queriesmatch
__res_close
ru_reseed
__res_hnok
_res_opcodes
__res_ownok
__res_opt
_res_resultcodes
__res_nameinquery
__res_close
__res_send
__res_mailok
__fp_resstat
__res_dnok
__res_randomid
__res_isourserver
__res_queriesmatch
/boot/develop/tools/gnupro/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `_res'
changed from 512 to 376 in /boot/develop/lib/x86/libnet.so     

Not at all sure what is going on.  I dont seem to be able to  test
the network stack from the latest CVS code.

Any ideas?
