Hello!
I'm new to the list, and heard this was a good resource of
information.
I been using FreeBSD for a little over a year and recently decided
to try nBSD for my FTP server.
Everything so far has went well, or at least to the point I could fix it
and understand what was going on. But the problem I have
encountered that I can't figure out is with the ports/packages
collection. When I get the pkgsrc.tar.gz, I decompress it into the
/usr directory then go to what I would like to compile and add, for
instance I been trying to get bash2 compiled and added as well as a
few other programs. But every one I try fails with the error relating
to the PLIST in the directory; saying "Error: don't know how to make
PLIST"
Could someone help me out and tell me what I might or might not be
doing? Or is there something I might be missing?
Thankx!
Brady
