Hi, I'm a Gentoo Linux user and want to try out DragonFlyBSD, so I'm a *BSD rookie.
I've installed DragonFlyBSD successfully, but I'm not able to install software with pkg_add. I've tried out to build the lsof-packages, following the Handbook (http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~justin/handbook/packages-using.html). I've downloaded the file lsof-4.76.1.1.tbz from ftp2.FreeBSD.org and then I've done a pkd_add lsof-4.76.1.1.tbz as root. SchlesisPC# pkg_add lsof pkg_add: unable to open +BUILD_INFO file. pkg_add: can't read build information from +BUILD_INFO: No such file or directory pkg_add: aborting. pkg_add: 1 package addition failed Before that, I did a cvsup, like described here: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~justin/handbook/ports-using.html . Installtint software by Ports doesn't work, too: SchlesisPC# pwd /usr/ports/editors/nano SchlesisPC# make install ===> Vulnerability check disabled, database not found ===> Extracting for nano-1.2.5 => MD5 Checksum OK for nano-1.2.5.tar.gz. ===> nano-1.2.5 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info - not found ===> Verifying install for /usr/local/sbin/pkg_info in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install ===> Building for pkg_install-20060113 ===> lib cc -O -pipe -mtune=pentiumpro -mtune=pentiumpro -Wno-uninitialized -Wunknown-pragmas -Wsystem-headers -Wall -W -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wno-format-extra-args -c file.c -o file.o file.c:22: error: syntax error before string constant *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install/work/pkg_install-20060113/lib. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install/work/pkg_install-20060113. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_install. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/editors/nano. I get the same error in file.c in every thing I've tested. How can I fix that Thanks, Thomas
