I'm new to NetBSD, just recently made my first install on an old iMac.

I've run across a few problems building packages.  I'm wondering:
what's the best thing to do when this happens.  Ask about it here?
Report it as a bug with send-pr?  Ask on some other list?

For example, I was trying to build firefox, but make stopped with an
error having to do with autoconf:

===> Configuring for firefox-1.0.6nb2
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/firefox/work/mozilla && autoconf
autoconf: not found
*** Error code 127

Thanks, Rob
