Installing linux libraries not in /usr/ports

Hello all,
I'm testing the latest skype beta for linux from skype's
site (1.4 ), ideally viewing to update the port while
learning in the process.

I've resolved all dependencies so far (listed after my sig),
except for :

libsigc-2.0.so.0 => not found

I do have libsigc++ 2. installed in my system, but I believe
I need the linux version , correct?

Now, linux-libsigc doesn't exist in ports. I'm faced with 2
options:

1) installing libsigc from FC4 (the linux subsystem version
I'm using) via RPM , but it seems only 1.5 has been packaged
- i can't seem to find 2.0 anywhere.

2) installing libsigc from source from chroot in
/usr/compat/linux - does this make sense? advisable?  What
ports would be needed to build? i cant seem to find
linux-gcc or similar?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated 

TIA!!
B

Well, it really simple here, just use http://www.rpmfind.net .
And
using "libsigc-2.0.so.0" as a search pattern will
give you an
answer: it is an "extra" for FC4
(libsigc++20-2.0.17-1.i386.rpm).

And here is the link at kernel.org:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/ex
tras/4/i386/libsigc++-1.2.7-2.fc4.i386.rpm

PS. Seems that you have missed an "extra" category
while searching.

oops thanks!!! and sorry 
Anyway, my actual problem wasn't with the rpm or not
rpm (I was going to end up finding it anyway...it's been a
while I *had* to go
into rpm world), but what is the best approach to installing
this - chroot to
the linux subsystem and install from there? It seems rpm is
already installed
in my system (BSD, not linux subsystem) ... should I use
that ? 

thanks , and sorry for waisting your time w/the rpm
