Well, if it's a freebsd package compiled for your architecture, you can probably just run # pkg_add pine-whatever.tgz If it's tarred and gzipped source, you should unzip and untar it to your temp directory. 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.
