[RESOLVED] Re: pkg

I solved this issue, I had configured PKG_PATH by adding this line to the root .shrc

    PKG_PATH="http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/$(uname -s)/$(uname -m)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All"

I got this line from the quickstart guide on pkgsrc.org

the above line didnt work and caused the error i was getting

but by adding a "/" at the end of it everything became fine

so with this line, everything is fine 

PKG_PATH="http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/$(uname -s)/$(uname -m)/$(uname -r|cut -f '1 2' -d.)/All/"

greetings

i am getting the following error from pkg_add

# pkg_add vim
pkg_add: Can't process http://ftp.NetBSD.org:80/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1/All/vim*: Non-recoverable resolver failure
pkg_add: no pkg found for 'vim', sorry.
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

some background information,
i am running netbsd on virtualbox
it seems i can connect to the internet with no problem
i pulled pkgsrc via cvs
and ping ftp.netbsd.org resolves fine

/etc/resolv.conf contains the following lines
# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 10.0.2.3

so it seems at least to me that my netbsd virtualbox vm, is setup fine
any hints where to look?

regards
