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 jerry > > Thanx in advance. > Later, > Leon > A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. > Sir Winston Churchill > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: [FreeBSD] pkg_add help
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 > 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. > > Thanx in advance. > Later, > Leon > A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. > Sir Winston Churchill > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
