Re: X not found
The file sets that are used to install OpenBSD are not packages even though they end in the "tgz" extension. Thus, pkg_add doesn't know what to do with it. Try a command like this instead: # cd / # tar -xvpzf /home/music/xbase39.tgz The -v is optional, but make sure you include -p to preserve permissions. The tar command should be run from the root directory (unless you also use the -C switch).

Re: X not found
so how do you install that, i was thinking it would just be # pkg_add /home/music/xbase39.tgz Can't resolve /home/music/xbase39.tgz but that didnt work, how do you install that package?

Re: X not found
thats what i was asking, can i just install a small set of libs or do i need to entirely install X On 7/4/06, Peter Blair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: If you have no parts of X installed, then how do you expect to link against it? If you plan to use your OpenBSD machine as a headless X client, then you'll need to install the requisite libs. You'll save yourself a lot of time and headache if you just install the X set.
