Hi folks,


OpenBSD 4.0


I need to install "rox-filer"

On running;
# pkg_add rox-filer

It hung there for prolonged time.

So
^C
to exit it.


On running;
# pkg_info showpkg rox-filer

Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 showpkg.tgz: No such file or directory
Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 rox-filer.tgz: No such file or directory

On browsing;
ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386

I found rox-filer-2.4.1 there.


Then running;
# export PATH=ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386

# pkg_add rox-filer-2.4.1

ksh: pkg_add: not found

# which pkg_add

ksh: which: not found

# exit
$ which pkg_add

/usr/sbin/pkg_add

It is there. Please help. TIA

*sigh*

First and foremost, man pkg_add. It's there for a reason and you've skipped it.

pkg_add -i allows for variations should multiple options be found of a package.

PATH is the env that is used to find local binaries, PKG_PATH is the env used to find remote package files.

The proper command is

export PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/; sudo pkg_add -i rox-filer

I registered just to make sure to tell you to read the ****ing manual. rox-filer-2.4.1.tgz is there.
