I'm a struggling nooby. I am trying to install firefox 4 on a fresh 8.2 installation. I want to the core system to track the "errata" branch, and get binary packages from 8-stable (which has firefox 4).
I installed FreeBSD 8.2 release. # freebsd-update fetch install rebooted # portsnap fetch extract use BASH shell # export PACKAGESITE="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8-stable/Latest/"; installed x11 and icewm # pkg_add -r firefox get perl conflict between 5.10 and 5.12 # pkg_add -fr firefox firefox installs but I get "firefox3" instead of firefox 4.0 # pkg_info| grep firefox shows "firefox-3.6.13,1" trying to use source # cd /usr/ports/www/firefox # make install clean get errors about firefox 4.0.1 needing nspr>=4.8.7 # pkg_add -r nspr says nspr-4.8.6 or older is already installed _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
