Re: [FreeBSD] pkg_add help

2004-06-18 Thread Jerry McAllister
 
 Can someone point me in the right direction.
 I have a package I downloaded from FreeBSD.org thru Konqueor.
 It ends with .tbz
 I could not find this package in the ports collection
 thru stand/sysinstall
 My two questions are
 I need to extract this file Where
 And then how do I install, make install didn't work.

Presuming you downloaded the right version for the versin of FreeBSD you
are on - .tbz files start in 5., 
try just putting it in /usr/local/whatever_the_name_is
and doing
  pkg_add whatever_the_name_is.tbz

 Thanx in advance.

Hi,
Packages and ports are diferent.

A package is already compiled aplication and you will use
pkg_add - To install
pkg_delete - To deinstall
pkg_info - To view packages that are instaled.

so, you will install it using

pkg_add packagename.tbz
