Two packages/ports have the same name; how do I specify which

[ivan_llaisdy]

Dear all,

Two packages/ports have the same name:

/usr/ports/devel/atlas
/usr/ports/math/atlas

pkg search atlas only finds devel/atlas, and whereis atlas only finds the math/atlas:

  # pkg search atlas
  Atlas-0.5.2_2  # <-- devel/atlas
  Atlas-devel-0.6.3_4  # <-- devel/atlas
  atlast-1.2
  libreatlas-1.0.0a_15

  # whereis atlas
  atlas: /usr/ports/math/atlas

I'd like to install the math/atlas. How do I specify that when using pkg-install(8)?

With thanks and best wishes.

Ivan

Include the category: pkg install math/atlas

 pkg: No packages available to install matching 'math/atlas' have been found in the repositories

You have to install it in the port.

The port fails to build, hence no package is available.

I test it on FreeBSD-9.3 (at the moment I can't test it on 10.0), it compiles fine with

Option STATIC=on

Doesn't compile with

SHARED=ON

 

[talsamon]

Now I test it on FreeBSD 10.0. It works with both options.

Thanks for all your help! I have now successfully installed math/atlas from the port.

Best wishes,

Ivan
