Thanks for your replies.

But I still have this problem. I did "make clean" and after that "make"
in the directory "/usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install/". That did compile
the complete package. But "make install" did not do anything. I looked
for a file ".install" with the command
	find . -name "*install*"
which did not find the file ".install".

Still any ideas?
