I decided to try installing the entire ast package on FreeBSD instead of
just ksh. So, I took the directions in the ope/ast page on the web site
and tried to follow them.
The package commands seem to work fine for downloading the packages, but
after downloading the packages the package command tries to use the
"ratz" command, presumable to unpack the tgz packages and it simply
fails. Did the package source on the web site change recently so that
it is suddenly trying to use commands which do not exist on FreeBSD?
I remember doing this operation on an Ubuntu Linux system in the past
and not having any problems, but now on my home FreeBSD system it
consistently fails on the "ratz" step.
My eventual goal is to create a port which dows all the work involved,
so maybe the whole ratz thing is superfluous since the port system just
unpacks the tgz files with its own commands and doesn't rely on ratz. I
guess I just disn't realize that the package command relies on ratz,
whic presumably exists on Linux. Yet another Linux incompatability...
