Firefox port run error

[Matthew MacClary]

    Thanks very much for your work on the Firefox port.  Last night I
built Firefox from the port but ran into errors when I tried to run
it:

/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpangoxft-1.0.so.399" not found

    I updated my ports tree (it was a day or two out of date) and then
built it again this morning, I ran into the same errors when I tried
to run the browser.
    I noticed that there was a shared object with larger number
corresponding to the one Firefox was looking for, so I made
the following symlinks:

ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.600 /usr/X11R6/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.399
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.600 /usr/X11R6/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.399
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libpango-1.0.so.600 /usr/X11R6/lib/libpango-1.0.so.399 
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.800 /usr/local/lib/libatk-1.0.so.600

    The browser worked well and was faster than the preview-release
version when I was surfing for about an hour, so maybe my hack worked?

    Here is my system info:

    Makefile timestamp:

    Thanks!
