 Hello,
 
 Maybe I misunderstood the definitions of "critical" etc., that I indeed 
 read, but the error
 is critical for the application I'm trying to install.
 Am setting up a game station for my sons :-)    and in the process hope 
 to help NetBSD
 test the port of the pkgsrc system to a non-nbsd environment.  BTW the 
 most critical
 build failures are those of underlying libs that have several games as 
 dependencies,
 mostly related to gtk's, e.g. tcp-wrappers, fontconfig.
 Currently trying to cope with a long, severe illness, my concentration 
 allows me to
 test and send in some reports, not much more.
 Portable pkgsrc is a great idea that I'm trying to support in my own 
 feeble way.
 
 Thanks and best regards,
 
 Lux
