What version of NetBSD did you install?  1.6.2?  You'll find that some
packages may not build with gcc2 (which is shipped with 1.6.2.).  php4,
for instance, did not build on my last 1.6.2 bulk build.  At the time, php
was at 4.3.4.  My most recent build (with NetBSD 2.0_BETA and the
pkgsrc-2004Q3 branch) built php-4.3.8 just fine.  You may want to
consider, at the very least, using gcc3.  But I'd really suggest giving
2.0_RC4 a try.
