[NetBSD] checksum mismatch of a pkg

Hi,

I installed NetBSD 1.5.2 from a release CD ( complete install + X )
Then I setup the network infos to connect the NetBSD to Internet via my local-area-network ( at my workplace ).
All is ok.

I decided to try to install some packages,
so:

a) I installed a new collection using
ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/Net...rrent/tar_files
and then downloading
pkgsrc.tar.gz

b) installed them with
tar -xzvpf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr

c) updated the pkg_tools using
cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install
make install

The above instructions were on chapter 8 of the guide of Mr Lupi.

d) try to install apache using
cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/apache
make enable=most enable-shared=max

The compilation was ok until I got this error:



I admit that I did not compile a new kernel and that I did not track the current version,
but I thought that this were not necessary tasks for the moment.

I would be happy to run Apache for the moment.

Could you suggest me some directions to take?

Thanx!

Couple of dumb questions

1. How did you ftp ? I am assuming you used binary mode and not ascii (which may be the default sometimes) ?

2. Assuming you did use binary mode ftp, maybe you should try downloading the file(s) again and/or download them from an alternate site and try again ?

Good Luck!

Hi freebsdforums,

today ( just few minutes ago ) I got it worked.

I installed expat 1.95.2 using pkg_add before installing apache and all was ok!

I find that solution the easiest for me, I'm a totally newbie

Thank you for your tips.

P.V.

p.s.
Where is the place to set ftp mode transfer ?

Hi,

I want to advice you that as today no problems were found.
I reinstalled netbsd from scratch all is ok.
I did the same steps of friday,
but as today all is ok.

I have no idea of what it happened,
but I'm happy that now it works.

P.V.
