Thank you very much Oleg. I now have Package Manager
in my Run menu, but ...
When prompted if I want to "Setup the repository
Yes, only to get the following error dialog in
wdhandler while the system is
"Updating server catalog..."
error in jijs_runpacman_button
interface error: hostcmd
2!:0 y
Btw, I downloaded wget from the following url
http://www.statusq.org/archives/2005/02/22/610/ and cp'd
files as instructed by the readme.txt file. The only
peculiar aspect of the instructions was that I had to create
the folder /usr/local/etc before I could copy wgetrc to it.
According to the troubleshooting guides at
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL/Package_Manager?highlight=%28Package%29%7C%28Manager%29
apparently either I am offline or wget is installed
incorrectly because when I attempt to use wget I get an
error as shown next.
~/j601/temp]% wget www.jsoftware.com/jal/j601/jal.zip
tcsh: wget: Command not found.
But I *am* online, and I think I have installed wget
correctly as described above.
