Missing libexpat?

HI folks. I'm playing with netbsd 5.0.1 on my IBM 43p 140. I'm trying to use pkg_add to add apache to my system.
That goes ok, but when I try to start apache I get the message: 

Shared object "libexpat.so.1" not found

I was able to build libexpat, and apache from source but I'd rather use the binary packages from netbsd. Any
suggestions? 

Another thing, it seems I need to have a serial console attached to this machine otherwise the machine
freezes up until reconnect the console. Any way around that? 

Thanks,
Charlie Cron

Re: Missing libexpat?

Sorry all, found this:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/40346

>How-To-Repeat:
	1. install NetBSD 5.0 without X
	2. install apache binary package

But I'm still curious about the serial console. 

Thanks,
Charlie
