Fwd: Re: Installing gd2 on OBSD 3.3

["Michael D. McLean" <michael.mclean@eudoramail.com>]

Why are you not using ports or packages?

why are you using 3.3? Anyway.

here is how I install a package:

# setenv PKG_PATH ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.4/packages/i386/
# pkg_add /path/package name


this will get all the depends for you.


ports is the same as on freebsd. lets say we wanted the utilty named unzip

% cd /usr/ports/archivers/unzip
% su
# make install clean
# exit
