Hi,
I have been using NetBSD-1.5ZA with XFree86 4.2. I wanted to reoreganize
my partition, therefore, reinstalled NetBSD-1.5ZA. However, when I try to
install KDE-2.2.2.tgz package that was made won't install! When I do
pkg_add kde-2.2.2.tgz, NetBSD seems to go through all the installation
processes, showing the verbose etc. But, when it's done, nothing got
installed! I have been having trouble with. I've tried to add
separately, kdebase, kdelibs... etc.. none of it gets installed. What's
odd is that NetBSD runs through the installation (unpacking) etc... but
after couple minutes of hard work, when I see the /usr directory, hardly
nothing is installed. Is package system broken or what? At the moment,
the only option for me is to remake from pkgsrc which really "piss" me off
after all that time I spent compiling the whole kde packages (took 15
hours to copile). Sorry for the foul language. Anyone know of the quick
remedy to this problem? I still haven't erased the *.tgz files for kde
yet just in case.
Yours sincerely,
Sung N. Cho,
