Jan,

On NetBSD, by default, pkgsrc is in /usr/pkgsrc ... so when you install 
a pkgsrc package on NetBSD, it makes that assumption as well... so if 
you installed pkg_select from pkgsrc, it is most likely built to find 
pkgsrc in /usr/pkgsrc ... you could, just for the sake of things, try to 
see if making a symbolic link from /home/pkgsrc/pkgsrc to /usr/pkgsrc 
helps it.

About the strangely layed out screen, what terminal are you using? An 
emulation? A native (like xterm?)... Chances are, if it's an emulation, 
it's not properly handling the escape sequences it should be handling.

Gilles.
