Thank you for the response. Actually I found the library on a
mirror-server (ftp.dk.netbsd.dk. I should get used to use the local
server instead of the main server, but many times the local server is
not up to date), but it turned out that too many of my other packages
were also not up-to-date, so I ended up with an older version of gtk2+
and audacity, which are working.

What is the point in re-compiling the package from source. Wouldn't
you end up with the same security issues or have they been fixed now?

Kind regards
