:Yes, I've seen this also. For some reason, either the linux_base
:package or pkg_add is broken here, and I'm tending to suspect the
:latter at this point since there shouldn't be any attempt to cd to
:/compat, nowhere in the packing list does it say to do that. Methinks
:a buffer is overflowing somewhere.

I had similar problems trying to install the latest linux_base onto
a system which previously had the old (/compat/linux) version.
I wound up having to rm -rf /compat/linux and /usr/compat/linux and
then doing the make install, which worked. It created /usr/compat/linux
and didn't seem to care that no /compat/linux existed. However,
other linux programs (e.g. the linux netscape) still look in /compat so
I had to create a softlink from /compat/linux to /usr/compat/linux
in order for netscape to run.
