Yep - I have mSQL running as well with no problems. If you want an httpd
then you can get the APACHE set from the RiscBSD site - its in the
1.2-release/sets directory and works nicely.

I guess it can't find the X11 library (libX11) - you could always tell it
where to look by adding -L<dirname> to the link command...ie.
-L/usr/X11/lib...etc.

I have tried the previously compiled TeX release (done for RiscBSD1.1 I
think) but the binaries don't work. If someone can tell where to get the
TeX distribution from then I can put together a version for RiscBSD1.2. I
seem to remember that one of the kernel team uses TeX, so they may have a
version hidden away,

That should be easy enough - you just need dvihp or something like that.
