Anybody maintaining this discussion block? Questions about pkgsrc..   
Hi All,

Here is my environment info:
QNX 6.5 in VMWare

I followed the guide on NetBSD.org and installed pkgsrc and bootstrap. However I simply can't 'pkg_add' any kind of 
packages under the path 'ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.5.0_head_20101224/All' now.

In fact I did this operation before, and installed perl successfully. How come it doesn't work right now??

PS: I checked the network connection and it works fine, so it must some other issue

Following are the error messages:

# pkg_add qwt-5.2.1
pkg_add: Can't process ftp://ftp.netbsd.org:21/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.5.
0_head20101224/All//qwt-5*: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: no pkg found for 'qwt-5.2.1', sorry.
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed


Thanks for any helpful information!

Br!
Zhiying

Try a simple:

# pkg_add qwt

You should probably follow the instructions here:

Re: Anybody maintaining this discussion block? Questions about pkgsrc..   
Hi Sean,

In fact I tried this, and checked out HEAD_650, but the pkgsrc seems only suppoort QWT with a version of 5.0.1 (or 5.0.2
 ? never mind), and most importantly the installation is rather slow. There are so many prerequisites.. I waited for 
almost 2 hours and it was still on going..then I Ctr+C..

I don't know if there are many differences between 5.0.1 and 5.2.1. Are you familiar with Qwt, Sean?

Re: Anybody maintaining this discussion block? Questions about pkgsrc..   
I read the description of pkg_add for a while and now it works fine..
Link: http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?pkg_add+1+NetBSD-current

It seems the search criteria for package name failed if I provide only the package name or part of it.
So I provide the whole path and then 'the door is opened'.

Following are the command I used:
# export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.5.0_head_20101224/All"
# pkg_add $PKG_PATH/qwt-5.2.1nb2.tgz

Re: Anybody maintaining this discussion block? Questions about pkgsrc..   
Use the HEAD for 6.4.1 -- it is so close in version, that it should work fine for you.

PKG_PATH=http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/QNX/i386/6.4.1_head_20090724/All
