Hi I am working with a machine with FreeBSD 4.2.8 version. I am not allowed to change the version on the machine. I want to install some packages - in particular the KDE package on the machine pkg_add ftp://pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages/kde/kde<version>.tbz results in pkg_add responding that it does not understand tgz files. It may be that pkg_add for FreeBSD 4.2.8 is old. How do I get tgz files then. I tried using ports (i.e. make install clean in /usr/ports/X11/kde). However, compilation consistently fails while building qt. So that option is also ruled out. Is there any other way to install kde (if tgz files are not available) Thanks for any responses ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
