Building error. I'm missing libhx509.so.3[SOLVED]

Question

I been trying to build Firefox 3.1b2
I get this same error after an hour of building:
convert: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I don't have that version and am not sure on how to get libhx509.so.3
[seventy3@HPdv9920us ~]$ locate libhx509.so
/usr/lib/libhx509.so
/usr/lib/libhx509.so.4
/usr/lib/libhx509.so.4.0.0
So how can I fix this? Do I need to build an old version of heimdal or something else? Or can I make a symlink pointing to the right place? (I'm not very experienced whit these things)

Sometimes we rebuild a package for an update of some library like libhx509.so.x, where the rebuild links against the new library. When you use pacbuilder to just build the package from extra, but don't have the new heimdal package installed yet, it will link to the old version and will break anyways when upgrading to the new heimdal package.
I use this command when upgrading from pacbuilder:
sudo pacbuilder -Subkve
I have noticed that when some packages have the updated ABS PKGBUILD, other packages in the same upgrade list (the same list that is in regular pacman -Syu)..... will only have the old ABS tree's PKGBUILD version, and the new version won't show up in the ABS tree until the next day or even the day after that (I always sudo abs before every upgrade)......
I normally don't run into too many problems with pacbuilder.... this was one of them, and the python2.6 upgrade was another time I had a bunch of breakages and had to rebuild everything that was in my old python2.5 site-packages directory into my python2.6 site-packages (like the Fusion Icon and pygtk and it's deps)....
I guess I could do a "pacbuilder --world" build again to make sure everything is built together.... it's been about 4 months of using pacbuilder.
And to finish up on this thread. I was able to build the firefox-pgo-beta 3.1b2-1 AUR package after I did that symlink and re-installed Imagemagick..... I'm not sure which one worked..... but I have deleted that link now and will try to build firefox-pgo-beta 3.1b2-1 again just to see what fixed it for me.
.... and "firefox-pgo-beta 3.1b2-1" is blazing fast! (feeling faster than epiphany-webkit, midori-webkit, and firefox-optimized).
