Date: Mon, 12 Feb 2001 13:44:31 -0500 From: hawk Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm now getting erros such as pkg_add linux-netscape-communicator-4.76.tgz pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6_6 ! pkg_add: autoload of dependency `/home/hawk/netscape-wrapper-2000.07.07.tgz' failed! pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6_6 ! I used the distribution for XFree and I *used* to be able to install packages that need it. Now I can't. Do I install the XFree86 packages to deal with this? Which would probably mean doing the symlink dance again, like I did with staroffice (which needs somewhere near 800mb of working space to install unless you creatively delete .bins as it runs. But that's another story . . .) *sigh* Won't be too much longer now (supposedly). I found out this morning that I got the grant to replace this box with a sparc or rs/6000. hawk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
