I keep the downloaded packages stored at the machine. PKGDIR is defined. So, I use pkg_add -r --keep PackageName to download and install the package. When I then compile a port, I will not be able to install it as PKGDIR is defined and used as the directory of the current port. Basically, I get then the error message that pkg-descr cannot be ffound. I have to undefined PKGDIR to run a successful make install. Is this behaviour intenteded? Erich
