I don't mean to sound like a moron, I know that certainly most of you folks on this mailing list have enough to do without holding my hand, but where does one set the environment variables? I cvsup'd ports and the src tree, and I've installed stuff, it's just now that I am having trouble...I install things by going to the ftp site and getting the packages I need, but isn't there some config file somewhere that tells pkg_add where to go? the output: # sysctl kern.osreldate kern.osreldate: 503101 On Thursday 06 January 2005 11:42, Joseph Koshy wrote: > > gigaping# uname -a > > FreeBSD gigaping.gigaping 5.3-STABLE FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: Mon Jan 3 > > 11:25:50CST 2005 > > gigaping@gigaping.gigaping:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GIGAPING i386 > > gigaping# > > Please check that you don't have environment > variables PACKAGESITE or PACKAGEROOT set. > > If these are not set, please check the output of 'sysctl > kern.osreldate'.
