Use packages. Set your PKG_PATH to something appropriate - since I'm based in northern Europe, the .profile for a i386 box of mine contains this line: export PKG_PATH=http://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/`uname -m`/ then use pkg_add -vui or similar to fetch and install updated packages that may be available. Only very rarely does it make sense to build packages locally. Also the FAQ is your best friend, in this case specifically part 15 - http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html - Peter -- Peter N. M.
