Problem building on LinuxMint (Ubuntu)

[Robert Nestor <rnestor%mac.com@localhost>]

I’ve quickly run into a problem trying to build and install packages on LinuxMint 18.1 using pkgsrc.  This is what I’ve done:

1) Used apt-get to install the base packages: cvs libncurses5-dev gcc g++ zlib1g-dev zlib1g libssl-dev libudev-dev
	BTW, need to add bmake to this list as well and I installed it too

2) Added “export SH=/bin/bash” to my login

3) Installed current copy of pkgsrc in /usr with “cvs -danoncvs%anoncvs.netbsd.org@localhost:/cvsroot checkout pkgsrc”

4) Did the bootstrap install:  “cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap ; ./bootstrap”

5) Rebooted as there was some message indicating not everything would be available until the system was rebooted

6) Tried building a package:  “cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_chk ; bmake install”
	Linux make doesn’t work and the on-line instructions for pkgsrc use on Linux aren’t clear about this, but bmake seems to be required.

At this point, and when trying to build and install any package, I get the following errors:

Can someone provide me a clue here?  I’ve tried doing all this a “root” as well just in case it was some permissions issue, but I get the same results.

Thanks,
