Ok, step one is completed.  I have downloaded the entire pkgsrc tree 
(without the source files).  I have also downloaded the files at the 
following url (I was told these are the pkg_* tools [e.g. pkg_add]): 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install

The instructions on the NetBSD site direct me to download the pkgsrc 
tree and to then either use the command 'pkg_add [package]' or to enter 
the packages directory and use the command 'make'.  Since I do not have 
the 'pkg_*' tools, I must resort to 'make'.  I have tried building some 
packages, as well as the package tools from the ftp url listed above, 
but these efforts have failed.  The errors I am receiving are as follows:

<localhost:woodpk>/% cd pkg_install/
<localhost:woodpk>/pkg_install% ls
CVS/          Makefile.inc  add/          create/       info/         
tkpkg
Makefile      README        admin/        delete/       lib/
<localhost:woodpk>/pkg_install% make
Makefile:6: *** missing separator.  Stop.
<localhost:woodpk>/pkg_install%

Now, someone suggested to me that the 'make' I am using and the make 
that is distributed by NetBSD are different.  I  ran a search on the 
NetBSD site for the different 'make' tools that are available and I did 
find gnu's make.  My make information follows:

<localhost:woodpk>/pkg_install% make -v

<localhost:woodpk>/pkg_install%

Do I need to find and build another 'make' utility, and can one system 
have multiple 'make' utilities at one time?

So, back to the beginning of this post, I believe I have the first step 
down as I have downloaded the pkgsrc tree, but I am a bit stuck trying 
to figure out how to build either the packages or the pkg_* tools.  Can 
you guys continue to help me out?  You've already been very helpful, 
both in answering my questions and in giving me a lot of educational 
material to read.

Thanks in advance,

patrick wood
