PKGSRC and IRIX

["Pangrazio, Robert Thomas (UMR-Student)" <rtp6xc%umr.edu@localhost>]

I am trying to compile some packages, namely AbiWord, Firefox, and
Thunderbird for my SGI Octane. It is running 6.5.22. I can get some
packages but certain packages like glib2 fail. Has anyone had any
success with pkgsrc on IRIX. I thought about maybe getting some of the
libraries from freeware.sgi.com and perhaps also manually compiling the
packages outside of pkgsrc. Has anyone had any experience mixing things
like this?

Thanks
