No.  /usr/share/dict/words should be a sym-link to web2 in that
directory.  That's just copied from /usr/src/share/dict/web2 during
the installworld process.

    % ls -l /usr/share/dict

Looks like something went wrong during your cvsup / buildworld /
installworld process. (Which I hope is rather more than that basic
outline -- you should build and install a kernel as well and generally
follow the instructions in /usr/src/UPDATING and the Handbook)

Suggest you check that you haven't run out of disk space anywhere,
that you delete everything under /usr/obj (you will need to use
chflags(1) on some of the contents to remove the immutable bits),
re-cvsup and try again.  Check the compilation output for errors as
you go.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
