Sorry to bother you ,but...

Dear questions at freebsd.org

GTK-Server is a program that allows scripts to have
a graphical interface with I/O. It also works with
several programming languages. The one I am most interested
in is yabasic.

I am working with Peter Van Eerten to try to get 
GTK-Server working on FreeBSD 5.3. Peter is the
author and the software works great on linux and
windows.

Peter has managed to get it compiled on FreeBSd5.3,
however when run a yabasic demo program that uses
GTK-Server, I get an error message that library
nss_dns.so.1 is missing.

I have searched the ports tree and found references 
to this in files in these locations...

eshop1# grep -r -i nss_dns /usr/ports/*

/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns-2.2.5.so
/usr/ports/emulators/linux_base-debian/pkg-plist:lib/libnss_dns.so.2

I am not enough of an expert or guru to know how to get this
library installed , or even if it should be installed on a 
FBSD5.3 system.

Any suggestions or help you can give us would be appreciated.

I've googled already and found some references to nss_dns.so.1
and FreeBSD5.3 , but there were no suggestions or fixes that
I could find.

If this is a dead end, and you can let us know or write me to
give me any pointers, please do so at your convenience.
