In <p05210619bac0de15a488@[142.131.246.132]>, Paul Hoffman <phoffman@proper.com> typed: > However, when I give the "pkg_add -r p5-foo" command, it install the > package (and the the dependencies) in the 5.005 tree, not in the 5.8 > tree. How can I get pkg_add to install in the correct place? In general, you probably can't. For each package, you can try "pkg_info -p <whatever>.tgz" to see what the package base is, but it's probably /usr/local for all of them. The path names beyond /usr/local are wired into the package, and can't be changed. To fix this, you probably have to install from the ports, not the packages. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
