>Description:
I'm trying to install stuff using the pkgsrc stuff. I tried to install
variousd packages (readline, ncurses, ncftp) by using the command line
"make fetch-list|sh && make && make install && make clean" from tcsh.
(tcsh built and installed from pkgsrc) I got almost no output, just
===> Cleaning for <foo>
but, when I went to run the steps seperately, since this didn't really
install, "make install" told me the pacakge was already installed, and
that I should use pkg_delete to remove it.
pkg_delete said it wasn't installed, it generally got rather confused.
