Looks like Opera wasn't correctly installed

Hi. I've just installed FreeBSD 9.1 from the CD on a VMware virtual machine... I did this:
# pkg_add -rv xorg
# pkg_add -rv icewm

Then I created a .xinitrc file inside /root, so I can start icewm-session with startx. Finally I opened an xterm window and tried to install Opera: # pkg_add -rv opera. I didn't see any errors during installation, but now when I type opera in xterm it just says command not found...

Please help!
 
I'd also like to know what parameter I should use with pkg_add to store the downloaded packages and respective dependencies in the current directory.
 
My fault. I made a complete reinstall, and this time while trying to install Opera again I noticed some plugins were missing... To install Opera you need to: # pkg_add -rv gstreamer-plugins-vp8 gstreamer-plugins-good gstreamer-plugins-ogg gstreamer-plugins-theora gstreamer-plugins-vorbis opera.
 
After installing all the plugins I also managed to install Opera, it's working just fine :P

I have a doubt: If I want to download and install X.Org on machine x, and then copy the file to a pendrive so I can install it on another machine without using Internet, is pkg_add -Krv xorg enough? Or am I missing something? Because the file I obtain, xorg.tbz, is only 4.5 KB...
 
The xorg.tbz file you have is just the "meta port" for X.Org. It's like a port that groups all the required applications, libraries, documentation, etc.

And yes, you're missing every single one of these dependencies.

If you extract the file with tar xf xorg.tbz and view the +CONTENTS file, every line starting with a @pkgdep references a dependency name and its version. With proper text processing (and optionally, shell scripting) you could create a complete list of all Xorg dependencies by extracting these names, then appending the .tbz extension and prepending a proper FTP path, e.g.
