[-- Attachment #1 --] [-- Attachment #2 --] Trying to get netscape3 installed to my FreeBSD system. downdoaded: netscape-v30b4-export.i386-unknown-bsd.tar.gz from: http://www.engsoc.carleton.ca/Documentation/Internet/netscape.html downloaded: ports structure: Makefile /files /pkg /scripts from: ftp.freebsd.org under pub/FreeBSD/ports-current put executable in /usr/ports/distfiles put port structure in /usr/ports when typing "make" in /usr/ports, the tarball unpacks and files are created in /usr/ports/work dir Question? It appears to create the correct files, however netscape.bin is not installed in /usr/local/libi . . . it remains in the /usr/ports/work dir. When entering the command "netscape" it does not execute. It can't find the file? Provided the tarball has already been downloaded and placed into the /usr/ports/distfiles dir, Is the above port structure all that is necessary to port a program? In the above ports structure /files subdir, there is another Makefile that doesnot appear to be executing. Should it be? Thanks for any help in this frustrating problem ?! Bob Abel babel@cais.com
