Hi Raphael,

I found the problem. the configure script would test the validity of the
c++ compiler, and as load path for the library it would state
"-L/usr/local/lib" . As it happened, a very old libstdc++ archive library
was there and ld would look no further (to /usr/lib for libstdc++.so.6).
This resulted in a large number of missing references whicch weren't in
the old library. Removing the library would enable me to recompile all
other C++ based ports (such as Firefox) as well without errors.

Thanks for your help! My students depend on the server and this was a
problem for us.
