The krb5-config included with Solaris doesn't seem to work the way the configure script wants it to (and presumably the build process won't like it either). Buliding and installing kerberos first makes the problem go away. Hmmm... I've tried it under Solaris 10: the current libgsasl-0.2.21-20071012 explicitly disabled Kerberos by default (which is with_kerberos=no) and it built just fine without having to install the OpenPKG kerberos package. Can it be that you are trying with an older libgsasl package are under an older Solaris version? I'm able to reproduce the problem on a Solaris sparc64 box of mine. Basically it's a Solaris 10 u4 Release 8/07 core installation plus same very few packages required for OpenPKG, ZFS, LU, Zones and the Sun Studio 12 compiler suite. On a Solaris 10 3/05 box the problem is not triggered. The difference is the SUNWkrbu package. On the older Solaris release it lacks the script /usr/bin/krb5-config while the current Solaris release contains it (package PSTAMP on10-patch20050805153247 vs. on10ptchfeat20070708174810).

Re: Cron Jobs Hanging
Apparently updatedb's find hangs when it hits a certain filesystem.
As Matthias already wrote, find out which one it is. Assuming the

quuxfs, you will find two interessting configuration parameters
'findutils_prunefs' and 'findutils_prunepaths' which can be overriden in
%{l_prefix}/etc/rc.conf.
You probably want to set
findutils_prunefs=$findutils_prunefs quuxfs
or
findutils_prunepaths=$findutils_prunepaths /foo/bar
in your %{l_prefix}/etc/rc.conf. After that, recheck those values with
$ %{l_prefix}/etc/rc -q findutils_prunefs
or
$ %{l_prefix}/etc/rc -q findutils_prunepaths
At next updatedb run, configured paths and file systems are being
skipped.

You cannot install OpenPKG packages with an arbitrary RPM. You have to bootstrap using the 'openpkg-*.src.sh' package which contains its own feature enhanced version of RPM needed by OpenPKG packages. - http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#bootstrap-source In the rare case you do not have a compiler on your FreeBSD system you might alternatively bootstrap from binary packages. - http://www.openpkg.org/tutorial.html#bootstrap-binary - ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.0/BIN/ix86-freebsd4.9/openpkg-2.0.0-2.0.0.ix86-freebsd4.9-openpkg.sh After having 'openpkg' installed it is good practice to install 'make', 'binutils', 'gcc' since these are the most essential packages required by most of the other OpenPKG packages.

B) Can I provide a --prefix option to openpkg to install the binary in some

One of the main concepts of OpenPKG is that you can settle it
down wherever you want. Currently it is not possible to relocate
sub-components like binaries but you can choose an arbitrary prefix
for the entire hierarchy at bootstrapping time. The file system layout
under this prefix is always the same and cannot be disintegrated any
furhter. In our docs the prefix (the internal RPM macro is %{l_prefix})
is very often mentioned as /cw/ since it is the default at Cable
Wireless but, as already said, the prefix could be whatever you like. In
your case something like /opt/sparc64-solaris8/ or /opt/ix86-freebsd4.9/
From a generic point of view
%{l_prefix}/

|-- RPM/
|-- bin/
|-- cgi/
|-- etc/
|-- include/
|-- info/
|-- lib/
|-- libexec/

(assuming two platform specific OpenPKG hierarchies)
That's it. It is not possible to relocate %{l_prefix}/bin/ to
%{l_prefix}/app/ and %{l_prefix}/etc/ to %{l_prefix}/app/conf/
Hope this was your question. On the other hand some symlink might help
to workaround the issue.
Note: Please choose your prefix wisely since it cannot be altered at a
later time. Especially using just /opt/ or /usr/local/ might lead to
conflicts with other software packages (not managed by OpenPKG) like
Solaris third party software or FreeBSD ports. That's why we're used to
our esoteric /cw/ prefix (we are quite sure nobody else uses /cw/ :-)
C) I don't understand the need for the rc file in case I am able to use the
--prefix option (and I use the /full/path/to when i run openpkg)
Which specific rc file are you talking about?
