I have purchased the FreeBSD installation DVD from FreeBSD Mall. =C2=A0I am= installing on a newer AMD 64 system. I have had no issue with getting FreeBSD UNIX up and running on this machin= e. =C2=A0However, when I try to use either pkg install xorg or I try to make the port of most anything (like, for example, emacs), the = install always fails. The fail when attempting to use pkg install happens when pkg install tries = to update the catalogue, where it says there is no address record. =C2=A0Th= en it says a pkg update is required. Doing a pkg update seems to do nothing= and the install fails in all events. Trying to install anything using a make install clean in the port directory= appears to die when it can't find pkgconf and, again, says there is no add= ress record. What am I doing wrong here? =C2=A0I have what appears to be a happily worki= ng FreeBSD UNIX that talks to the Internet just fine and does all the basic= things it's supposed to do. =C2=A0I want to get X11 and KDE running on thi= s system. =C2=A0I finally got a port from=C2=A0freebsd.kde.org/ports.php to= compile and install, but I have not been able to install X or anything els= e (like emacs or pkgconf). Any wisdom about this, please? =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0Lyman From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Wed Jan 11 06:22:58 2017 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 04D3ACAA8EA for ; Wed, 11 Jan 2017 06:22:58 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd@dreamchaser.org) Received: from nightmare.dreamchaser.org (ns.dreamchaser.org [66.109.141.57]) (using TLSv1 with cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (Client did not present a certificate) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 95B191917 for ; Wed, 11 Jan 2017 06:22:57 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd@dreamchaser.org) Received: from breakaway.dreamchaser.org (breakaway.dreamchaser.org.

It would help if you would post the actual commands you are using and the output. It may be a DNS error; does DNS resolution work? What's the output of host ftp.freebsd.org What's in /etc/resolv.conf? If nothing, do: echo '208.67.222.222' >/etc/resolv.conf which is an opendns.com nameserver. You will probably want something else permanently depending on your ISP. I build from ports so I'm not much help with packages. However, this article: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/47515/ indicates pkg update -f may resolve the problem once you know DNS is working. Gary
