I assume it has changed recently and you have an outdated version.

You can put it in /usr/ports/distfiles and run 'make' in the ports/cad/qcad directory again, so it won't complain anymore that it can't be fetched. > I accidentally removed everything from the /usr/ports/cad/qcad directory > (including the makefile of course so I no longer have a make option). > Go to http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=qcad&stype=all and click 'download' under qcad-1.4.1. You'll get a file called qcad.tar, containing all files to replace your damaged qcad directory. > I've read the handbook and manually downloaded the package from freebsd.org, > but pkg_add isn't working like the handbook describes. Any suggestions? > What's the problem? Does it complain about not having some other package? On above mentioned URL, you will also find what packages are required for qcad to install successfully. If you use pkg_add, you have to fetch and install those packages first. If you use the port, the port will fetch, compile and install them automatically. Hope it helps, Karel.
