Then issue command for installed package. Or of course, reboot will fix it also. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Krikket Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 10:29 PM To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: Adding Packages and Ports I've done a brand-new install of FreeBSD (4.9), and am a fresh user to this flavor of *nix. The install went more or less without a hitch. For some reason ldap (part of the default package selection) didn't want to install. While I can ssh to the box, it won't accept the password for users and/or root. (IE: It makes the connection, gives a login prompt, but the correct password is rejected. I'm sshing from a Fedora box.) But the big problem that I'm having, that's turning into a show-stopper has to deal with installing packages and/or ports, once the base OS is installed. To test things out, I tried installing mozilla. It failed due to a dependancy, so I checked out the website to see what was available, found a version that was there, adn installed it. But when I type "mozilla" to start the program, it's not found. (Nor was it added to the KDE Menu.) I was able to do a "pkg_add -r cvsup" on the first try. But I ended up with the same problem -- not being able to find the package once it was installed. Needless to say, I can't add any ports as a result. I figure there's something basic that I'm missing, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out, despite the help of the handbook and FAQ... Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction? Please? Thanks in advance, Krikket (I will say that compared to some flavors of Linux, this install was absolutely painfree. I did have to start over on some occasions, due to minor user errors, but assuming the perfect user during the install process, it went rather well. After dealing with the alsa hell of Linux, gettign sound working on FreeBSD was a very pleasent surprise!) _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
