CD to the subdir it makes, and read the "INSTALL" file if there is one, or the README. Often, the procedure for installing something from the source is to execute these commands: # ./configure # make # make install Noah On Wed, 21 Jun 2000, leegold wrote: > i found pine on cd#3 it is in .tgz i have very little idea how to add pine. > the chap in "Complete freebsd" on adding packages says things like "put it > in your source tree" - what's a source tree?ect...so i'm not getting a > step-by-step procedure from the book. > > i have tried untarring/unzipping before and got some strange results - > probably because i didn't know what i was doing. > > so if anybody out there would want to go STEP BY STEP 1.,2.,3.,..and explain > how to add PINE. i would appreciate it.
