I have a successful install of 9.0 stable on my 15" powerbook G4. I'm successfully connected to the net and can download via ftp the gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz. Of course when I try to pkg_add the .tbz it can't find all the dependencies because an attempt and an individual install of each one would be time consuming chaos.
When I run
When I use my MacBook Pro and the "Connect to Server" I trace the directories and there is NO packages-9.0-release let alone a Latest directory within it.
When I connect to ftp.freebsd.org I go to the following directory to find gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz: /pub/FreeBSD/ports/powerpc/packages-9-stable/gnome. This is where gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz. resides.
I've worked with my mac and 'macports' and when you install a package it auto detects dependencies and downloads them and installs during main package install.
Question: within the FreeBSD pkg_add -r function, is there a way to change the directory path it searches?
Question 2: is there an ftp get command that will find and get all the dependencies for the relative gnome-desktop package I'm trying to install?
Just trying to get a GUI running on my new FreeBSD install!
Thanks for any help!
Samuel.
When I run
# pkg_add -r gnome-desktop-2.32.1_1.tbz
I get the following error:
