Well, I'm stumped. I just did a `make install' for okg_install on my
Mac, and it worked just fine.
Make sure that you're root when you do this, and if necessary, remove
the /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install/work directory manually. Also,
the first thing it should do is tell you "Checksum OK for..."
One thing I did notice: you're running under bash. Well, you might
try starting from a different shell. It _shouldn't_ make any
difference, but "you never know".
Good luck!
