I have tryed the install with out these packages but then I can not copy over file /usr/share/ske1/dot.bashrc This file is not part of FreeBSD, and packages do not install into this directory..are you sure that is the correct path?

That's not such a problem: you just install the individual ports from this list. You can also do this if you don't like the list of ports. It's difficult to coordinate the production of a book (every year or two, by one publisher) with the distributions (every 4 months, by a different group of people). That's your problem here.
