>Description:

misc/setiathome (from pkgsrc.tar.gz dated Apr 1, 2000) tries to download
a pre-compiled binary and fails because seti doesn't support m68k anymore.

>How-To-Repeat:

Using pkgsrc.tar.gz dated Apr 1, 2000
cd misc/setiathome
make
>Fix:

Looks like you should remove m68k and arm from the list of ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM
judging by their website.  See http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/unix.html 
in the section entitled "Client Retirement Plan"

 Looking around the seti at home site didn't reveal *any* m68k binaries.
