login error:cannot not find root directory

[perikillo]

   Yes, i check, the /root /.* but they looks correct, i check the
propierties and attr of that directory and files, but they look
correct. I dont know what more to check :-?

    Another error i found is went i try to see a manpage the system
send this error:

mistake# man ls
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1  "/usr/lib/libz.so.2"

   That cannot find that library, i check those files and they exist,
maybe went i was reparin my system i broke the link, could i repair
this???

   If i make the makeworld again could be fixed????
   
   Thanks.
