kde wont install from the 4.2 release cdrom due to xpm-3.4k.tgz
being corrupted in some manner. maybe i just got a bad cd :(
so much for the subscripiton :) How can i work around this?
i put the latest xpm-3.4k.tgz from the fbsd ports (4.2 stable)
& put it in /usr/ports/distfiles. If i knew the pkg_add to use
for kde11 i would try it that way, hoping it would use the xpm
in /usr/ports/distfiles. i havent used ports enough to get a
real feel for them....is there a way i can copy every .tgz
from the cdrom to my hard drive & then sneak the correct
xpm-3.4k.tgz in that way? i wouldnt know what directory to put
them in....any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeb

The .tgz files are package files - prebuilt applications. FreeBSD ports
downloads source, applies FreeBSD-specific patches, and compiles the
application (actually, packages are generated from ports). I think if you
get the 4 CD set, two or three of the CDs have the `distfiles' (the actual
source to the applications) on them, although these may be a bit out of
date. Your best bet is to just `cd /usr/ports/graphics/xpm; make install'.
