package installation fatal error

2005-06-24 Thread Qv6 
Folks:

Brand new to openbsd.

Just installed obsd without any of the X sets, game*, or bsd.mp 
installed, on an intel pc. Every seems to be on the up and up except 
that installing packges gives a fatal error, and there is nothing in 
the log files to tell me anything about this particular error. 

Note: 
The network is up and running and I can surf with lynx
Shell is sh. I also received this error using csh
I can ftp to ftp.openbsd.org

Here are the steps I took:

#PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/
#export PKG_PATH
#
#pkg_add snort-2.1.2.tgz
Can't find snort-2.1.2.tgz
/usr/bin/pkg_add: snort-2.1.2.tgz:Fatal error

I get this error using pkg_add as above or by prepending $PKG_PATH to 
the package name:

#pkg_add ${PKG_PATH}snort-2.1.2.tgz

OR

#pkg_add 
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/snort-2.1.2.tgz

What could be the issue here.

TIA

Never mind folks.

I found out the cause: PKG_PATH was not properly defined.

here is the original PKG_PATH definition:

PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/

and here is the corrected version 

PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.7/packages/i386/

My bad!

 Folks:
 
 Brand new to openbsd.
Brand new to *nix too?

 #PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/
(...)
 ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OPENBSD/3.7/packages/i386/snort-2.1.2.tgz
The issue is that OpenBSD is not the same as OPENBSD.
