Details about my pkg_add error woes...
I am using NetBSD 1.5 from the latest and greatest Wasabi
4-CDROM release.
The package comes from the same set, PACKAGE RELEASE DISK
1.
Here are some (perhaps most) of the dependencies which
fail either to "add" or "autoload". I don't know what any
of them are beyond the names.
Mesa>=3.2.1
MesaLib-3.4
glu-3.4
glut-3.4
jpeg-6.b
tiff-*
xpm-3.4k
png>=1.0.6
libungif-*
kdelibs-1.1.2.tgz
ncurses>=4.2
kdebase-1.1.2.tgz
kdemultimedia-1.1.2.tgz
Some of those show up "failed!" more than once. I tried
to do pkg_add two separate ways, both from the su-ship
from within own user-ness...
: {40} chdr /cdrom/i386/All/
: {41} pkg_add kde-1.1.2.tgz
...and...
: {42} chdir /cdrom/i386/X11
: {43} pkg_add kde-1.1.2.tgz
Probably there is something fundamental that I am doing
wrong. This is on an IBM ThinkPad 380Z but without any
PCMCIA devices yet inserted. And nothing is plugged into
the USB. This is the machine I purchased used from Peter
Seebach, who said that NetBSD ran fine on it. So the
machine is okay. It must be me. But I don't have a clue
what.
So next I tried this...
: {44} mkdir /pkg
: {45} mkdir /pkg/All
: {46} cp /cdrom/i386/x11/*.* /pkg/
: {47} chdir /pkg
: {48} add_pkg /pkg/kde-1.1.2.tgz
...and got all the same "add of...failed!" messages. I'm
kinda stumped. Any clues?
