Hello all. I had an old Sun sparc server and really wanted to install something current and interesting on it. Something not Solaris/Oracle and definately open source and not linux. Therefore I arrived at OpenBSD and the install was trivial. Easy. I was very pleasantly surprised by that.
After install and first boot I was able to login via the console and create my user account with the usual .ssh directory contents and then ssh in no problem. Great stuff. Then I wanted to use wget to fetch the sources to GNU make. I saw that I had no "wget" in my path or anywhere that I could see. So I did some hunting about and landed on pages that talked about pkg_add and the PKG_PATH environment variable. Therefore I tried this : # PKG_PATH=http://athena.caslab.queensu.ca/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/sparc64/ # export PKG_PATH # pkg_add wget Unknown element: @signer 55pkg in SCALAR(0x101b108e210), at /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/PackingList.pm line 306, <$fh> line 3. # Am I doing the correct things here or am I way way off base? I am very familiar with Solaris and how to install packages there as well as the Debian linux way of things. So just looking for pointers in case I am just lost. dc
