I'm trying to install some software packages that are on a CD in
.tgz formats. After figuring out how to mount the damn cd (hey, it wasn't
very obvious to me), I made my way through the directories to the specific
pkg I wanted to install. I tried using "pkg_add mosiac-2.7b5.tgz" and it
gave me four failed dependencies and quit. The CD I got was suppost to
have everything I needed to get going, and I would imagine it would have
all the files needed to get the packages running. The dependencies in
question are jpeg-6b, lesstif-0.87.1, png-1.0.3, and xpm-3.4k.
Also, I feel dumb asking these questions on this list. I've got
many more to ask as well (why the hell are all the windows in X so damn big
on startup all the time?, skeleton .xinit files) and I would like to try
and find a faq or site with answers to these questions rather than waste
everyone's time. I've looked but to no avail. Any suggestions. Thankyou,
Alex Colomb
