 Perhaps a missing dependency to ncurses package, considering that it
 does use CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --with=tlib=ncurses ?
 As mentionned in the comment, it built fine against standard curses
 once I fixed that line.  I don't have ncurses package installed (and didn't
 need it otherwise).

 Unsure of what's wrong with this... on my 2.1 system:
  --- (ttypc) root@hal.xisop # openssl
 OpenSSL> version
 OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004
 OpenSSL> exit
  --- (ttypb) root@hal.xisop # ls -l /usr/bin/openssl 
 -r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  366933 Nov  4 20:59 /usr/bin/openssl
 
 And it only compiled fine once I removed some conditional code about
 openssl version...
 
 Removing the following condition worked:
 http-ntlm.c:
 #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x00907001L
 
 Then, if my openssl isn't the proper one, would it be possible that
 the install to / procedure using build.sh was not properly done,
 or that an existing other openssl package was installed on the build
 server via pkgsrc first?  Would it then be a build order issue?
 Unless the postinstall fixing script failed to fix something?
 I upgraded by tracking the netbsd-2 branch all the time, then
 same again lately after 2.1 release.  The openssl binary does seem
 to have been updated the 4th when I upgraded. (date shown with ls)

 Still fails for me;  Would it have built fine on the build server because
 it also had installed xorg package first?  Or that there was no /usr/X11R6
 on the netbsd server?  Not sure why these few packages denoted with +, and
 those only, had this problem where I needed to add to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS the
 stuff for /usr/X11R6 includes and libraries... (or to add a .include buildlink
 for X11).

 Yes it is restricted, the fix was quite easy for this one, only the url
 to get the file fails.

 This one now works, I suspect that one of the servers had corrupt files
 possibly, it now failed to get it from the first url, tried with a second
 one and the file checksums are okay.  It also built fine just now.
 
 > ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc-2005Q3/NetBSD-2.0/i386/All/gphoto2-2.1.6.tgz
 
 Oh it's devel/libgphoto2 which failed to build (and was a dependency of
 gphoto2), for libgphoto2 to build, I had to add a .include for jpeg package,
 since it was failing at libjpeg.h not found error otherwise.  Why though,
 no idea.
 
 As for gphoto2, it fails to build, at -lncurses not found error.
 This one seems to refer to ncurses in Makefile:
 .include "../../devel/ncurses/buildlink3.mk"
 
 How come it didn't try to install the ncurses package, no idea.
 But I obviously would like it to use curses instead, although I
 couldn't make the configure script do so using various CONFIGURE_ARGS
 and commenting out the ncurses buildling .include, so I just went
 and fixed the generated Makefile after configuration to use -lcurses
 instead which fixed my problem for now and built it.

 This was only a PLIST problem and the auto tarup failed with an error,
 although the file was still created fine.

 Another case marked with + where I suspect a build order problem or
 that netbsd server doesn't have X11 installed, or has xorg, etc?

 I tried without CFLAGS/LDFLAGS changes in mk.conf (or env), as well as
 using /bin/sh (I'm usually using /bin/ksh for interactive shell).
 Quite an odd bug, I'm not sure what fails.  If I can't build this one
 with some hacking or not I might need to revert to an i386 version from
 the netbsd site...

 I suspect a build order issue, since for me it detected installed flac and
 speex but missed the .include buildlink stuff. (another way could have
 been to add a few --without to the configure flags).

 Like above, but detected libmikmod and couldn't use it without me adding
 the .include for it (or a --without), so also probably a build order issue.

 Not sure what's wrong here.  I would have to check the C code and see...
 It's one of the packages I'll probably play with until it cleanly builds
 to not have to manually compile it to get an i686 optimized version...

 Interestingly, this was missing -lossaudio when linking oss.o driver...
 Other oss using tools such as xmms, mplayer built fine.

 Hmm very interesting, this one like ones marked with a + above,
 was missing -I/usr/X11R6/include or such, but it did have the -L
 and -W,-R stuff.  Most binaries built fine in it, except glxdemo
 which needed that additional -I.

 Also seems a build order issue, since it detected install aalib and wanted
 to use it, couldn't be passed --disable-aalib, so I had to add .include
 to aalib buildlink.

 It is indeed restricted.  Also build order related it appears, since I
 had again to either disable aalib via a configure arg, or to add buildinking
 info to it via .include.

 Of course.  As noted above, package builds fine but is missing to build
 the pgpmime plugin (which is a bug since it would otherwise not require
 the gpgme dependencies, and previous versions built that plugin).
 As told in my notes above, it was easily fixed using the described steps.

 Possibly that the GNU libiconv package was previously compiled on the
 server and that building abiword used it.  Building abiword here failed
 to try to install the GNU iconv (it didn't try), and anyway since we
 already have iconv with the fix described it worked fine.

 Of course.  Playing with these as well as the default shell for root
 were among my first attempts to fix the problems.
 
 
 So since with various hacks I could make most packages build,
 the only ones I'll be caring about for now will be: db4, cscope and nspr
 for which I would like i686 and netbsd pkg friendly packages...
 
 I might be mistaken, but I suspect that several of these problems are
 caused by build order problems.  It would seem overkill for me to have
 to build all 5000+ packages for the little less than 400 that I'll
 ever need, though, just in order to get i686 packages...
 
 Thanks for the interest and time,
 Matt
