I didn't realize that you wanted a package built for 7.0-RELEASE. Indeed, there isn't a package of this port built for this release, so you might want to get packages from the 'packages-7-stable' directory[1][2]. This particular port seems to have been added to the ports tree after the release of FreeBSD 7.0. Of course, you can build it yourself from your ports tree.

Then I could learn from this that there are softwares that could be install from ports while not able to be added from package system? Am I right? Correct -- not every port has a package. ports-mgmt/portupgrade is a useful tool for easily getting packages and ports, it includes the tool portinstall which does what it says it does. By running "portinstall -P pkgname", it will install a port and dependencies with packages if available, otherwise they are built from source. portsman and portmanager are some other frontend tools that can help with package administration, it's really up to your own tastes. -Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
