Subject: can't build gv or windowmaker or anything from source?

Hi ,
I just installed netbsd on a dell latitude cpi d266
(pII). It's 1.5.3 and I installed the pkgsrc from
under 1.5.3 sets also. I installed linux emu from
pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/i386/emulators/ and
netscape.
I have tried to build gv and windowmaker and it's
been a nightmare. Allways I get some package
checksum mismatch, eg with windowmaker:
=> Checksum mismatch for libpng-1.2.1.tar.gz.
Make sure the Makefile and checksum file
(/usr/pkgsrc/graphics/png/distinfo)
are up to date. If you want to override this check, type
"make NO_CHECKSUM=yes [other args]".
*** Error code 1
I'm a big fan of netbsd on sparc where everything
builds and I'd LOVE to be a big fan on i386 also.
But always building from source on i386 is just
an incredible nightmare for me:(
Can someone help me please?
thanks,
Paul.
