bootstrap problems  
I am getting an error when running ./bootstrap the last line is:

===> running: /bin/sh /home/HEAD/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bin/install-sh -c -o roo

then comes:

ERROR: If so, you may use either of:
ERROR:    - "pkg_delete bootstrap-mk-files-20070810" and "/home/HEAD/pkgsrc/bootstrap/work/bin/bmake reinstall"

and it goes on from there finally ending with:

Stop.
bmake: stopped in /home/HEAD/pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap-mk-files
===> existed with status 1

I don't see what the error actually is nor do I understand what its telling me happened.  Any help would be most 
appreciated.

Thanx
Tim

Sounds like you've done a bootstrap previously.  If you really want
to start from scratch clear out /usr/pkg and /var/db/pkg.

Re: bootstrap problems  
Actually I have not done a bootstrap previously.  I installed a clean box with QNX and followed the bootstrap 
instructions.  This is my first attempt on any machine.

I can clean things out and try again, what are that odds that it will be different?

Re: bootstrap problems  
Ok, perhaps this is obvious, but I had originally checked out the source tree into /home/HEAD/... 

I then tried the root as in /HEAD/...

Same error both locations.  So I then tried moving /HEAD/pkgsrc to the root as in /pkgsrc/... with no HEAD parent 
directory.

It ran without errors.  So apparently the directory you check out the source to matters?

FYI...
