I have my NetBSD machine up and running (thanks all that helped)... now I 
am trying to install some software.

In particular, the two items I am working with are Netatalk and Apache.

I downloaded both via FTP directly to my NetBSD machine. Both are the 
"package" format as listed on the NetBSD.org web site.

After downloading, I ran pkg_add on them, and they appeared to have 
installed without error.

But when I then follow directions to start them, both won't start. In 
both cases, the command I am told to type to start the system comes back 
as "Command not found". For instance, for starting Apache, the Apache.org 
site says to type PREFIX/bin/apachect1 start. So I type 
"/usr/pkg/bin/apachect1 start" and I get the command not found error. I 
verified that the apachect1 file is in that directory I specified, and it 
is, and doing an ls -F shows it with an * which means it should be 
executable (right?). I also cd'd into the directory directly, and just 
typed "apachect1 start", and got the same error. And I have tried this 
both logged in under my user account, and su'd as root (and logged in as 
root just for good measure). I have also tried the commands before and 
after a reboot, still no dice.


So what am I doing wrong with the installation, or execution that I can't 
get Apache or Netatalk to start? I did not include any command switches 
with the pkg_add command, should I have (I read the man pages for it, and 
it didn't look like any of the options needed to be used, but then, I am 
new to this whole thing, and I don't fully understand what I am looking 
at yet). I did the pkg_add when logged in as a user, but su'd as root. 
Should I have done it as a regular login as root? 

Thanks
