Re: Installing Additional Software

Hi Perter,

If you have NetBSD/amd64 or NetBSD/i386 (or similar modern machines),
crosbuilding sparc packages from pkgsrc on such fast machine is
good idea. 
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/doc/HOWTO-use-crosscompile

Note, some pkgsrc fails to crossbuilding, and some of built pkg
might not work correctlly. At reast, cross-built lang/ruby21 does
not work correcctly to install ruby gems.
