Hi,

I'm trying to install vim, ctags and cscope on freebsd 8.4 release. I'm using pkg_add and no luck. Following is the output. Can someone help me with this?

pkg_add -r -v vim-console

Is there a way to get those working in 8.4?
Click to expand...
Check your FreeBSD architecture (amd64/i386).
Try to download and install these packages manually (with it's dependecies):
Replace 'i386' to your architecture of FreeBSD.

You can try to setup 'ftp-archive' as the main site for you.
Check the pkg_add manual page.Set the environment for 'ftp-archive'.
Code: 
The environment variable PACKAGEROOT specifies an alternate location for
     pkg_add to fetch from.  The fetch URL is built using this environment
     variable and the automatic directory logic that pkg_add uses when the -r
     option is invoked.  An example setting would be "ftp://ftp3.FreeBSD.org".

     The environment variable PACKAGESITE specifies an alternate location for
     pkg_add to fetch from.  This variable subverts the automatic directory
     logic that pkg_add uses when the -r option is invoked.  Thus it should be
     a complete URL to the remote package file(s).

Another way is to build these packages from ports.
You can use 'FreeBSD 9.x' ports if you wants to have a little bit newer versions than from 8.4.
