please help with openbsd 2.9

Please help. I have downloaded the openbsd 2.9 snapshot from ftp.openbsd.org. the following files were downloaded from the snapshot dir. ( the whole dir. was downloaded ) base29,bsd,bsd.rd,cdrom29.fs,cksum,comp29,etc29,all three floppy images,game29,index,install.ata,install.chs install.dbr,install.i386,install.linux,install.mbr install.os,install.pt,man29,md5,misc29,xbase29,xfont29,xserv29 and xshare29. I burned them to cdrom. i created my floppy29.fs boot image. The hard disk is clean with no partitions at this point. i was able to boot from the floppy and set the entire machine up perfectly. Everything works even network card and xserver. The problem i am having is being able to execute packages that were added via- pkg add. The packages state in -v mode that all went well and was registered. the added package will show up if i do a pkg info, however i can not get one single package to execute and the same error is given for all packages. Here is the error and xxx is the app.

/usr/libexec/ld.so: xxx: libc.so.26.2: No such file or directory.

for example i installed joe the editor.
pkg add -v joe-2.8p1.tgz all was extracted and registered. I am logged in as root when i install the packages and when i try to call them. When i am @ / logged in as root and type joe the above message is displayed. i installed 9menu to and when i call the app 9menu the exact same message is displayed.
/usr/libexec/ld.so: 9menu: libc.so.26.2: No such file or directory.

this has been the case with all installed packages. all other commands ( ping, traceroute, halt etc... ) work fine it is just all apps added after the original install. the computer is: compaq professional workstation ap400, 6gig ata/66 hd, 128meg ram, elsa synergy video card, pent!! 450. please explain what i have done wrong and steps to fix it.

thanks for your kindness. Smilie have a great day.
