I have been trying (learning) to install a couple of packages on the ports collection. I read up in the FreeBSD Handbook on how to install from the ports collection and am unable to do this. This is the output of what I have been trying. (more after the output) wired# make install XFree86 ===> XFree86 >> X332src-1.tgz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.2/source/. /usr/bin/fetch: ftp.xfree86.org: Unknown host >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://xfree86.cdrom.com/pub/XFree86/3.3.2/source/. /usr/bin/fetch: xfree86.cdrom.com: Unknown host >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.ibp.fr/pub/X11/XFree86/XFree86-3.3.2/sourc e/. /usr/bin/fetch: ftp.ibp.fr: Unknown host >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/pub/X11/Xfree86/3.3.2/sou rce/. /usr/bin/fetch: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de: Unknown host >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/XFree86/3.3.2/so urce/. /usr/bin/fetch: sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk: Unknown host >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/xc/. /usr/bin/fetch: ftp.freebsd.org: Unknown host >> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this >> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/xc and try again. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. Now after is told me to put the port in that directory I tried to copy the tar ball to that directory and to no avail. I even put the tarball under the distfiles directory and it did not help. I tried to put it under the subdirectory x11 also... to no avail. I extracted the tarball into the tmp directory and tried to do a make install and came up with error... unfortunately I can't remember the output. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong... it's probably very stupid too.... Thanks in advance ________________________________________________________________________ Langa F.
