To try to get pkgsrc working on your system, please try the following
as root:
# ./bootstrap [ --prefix=${PREFIX} ] [ --pkgdbdir=${PKGDBDIR} ] \
[ --pkgsrcdir=${PKGSRCDIR} ] [ --sysconfdir=${PKG_SYSCONFBASE} ] \
[ --workdir=working directory] \
[ --ignore-case-check ] [ --ignore-user-check ] [ --help ]
The defaults for the arguments are as follows:
--prefix /usr/pkg
--pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg
--pkgsrcdir /usr/pkgsrc
--sysconfdir /usr/pkg/etc
--workdir work
It is perfectly acceptable to place ${PKGDBDIR} under ${PREFIX}.
The working directory will be created if it doesn't exist and has to be
writable by the user executing ./bootstrap.
Make sure that you have a working C compiler and make(1) binary in
your path.
See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html for
more information about bootstrapping and using pkgsrc.
We'd be very interested in hearing of any successes or failures on
"unknown" (to us) systems.
