Re: What is the best method to install software on GhostBSD?
Hmm,
Obviously I was not understanding the commands.
$pkg_add -r chromium
That was the command I believe we were after. This start the to fetch Chromium and the dependencies. Anyways it failed because some of the dependencies were not there...
I guess I will do what I can until Version 4.0 comes out.

No matter what application I try to install all of them fail for various reasons. Missing Library Files, can't create folders, etc...

If pkg can not give you the info about pkgng that mean pkgng is not fully install. I will command to you to install pkgng from ports.
Install the latest ports repos with
and install pkgng from ports
If you have problem I am here to help!
Install the latest ports repos with
Code: Select all
sudo portsnap fetch extract
Code: Select all
# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
# sudo make install clean
Re: What is the best method to install software on GhostBSD?
I ran those
$sudo portsnap fetch extract
$cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
$sudo make install clean
It did its thing for a while and then I did
$pkg_add -r netsurf
It installed without issue but still does not run with the exact same symptoms as in my initial post here. I did the same pkg_add -r for Hatari and Chromium and those had errors and would not install. So it appears that the FreeBSD repository for 9.2 has issues.

Re: What is the best method to install software on GhostBSD?
pkg_add might have issue because pkg_add can't update software. If Chromium was not building properly from ports when 9.2 pkg_add repos you will not be able to install Chromium from pkg_add.
I did forget that pkgng did not come install in FreeBSD 9.2. Now try you should now have an output. If yes do It might work now.

sudo pkg info pkg

sudo pkg2ng
Re: What is the best method to install software on GhostBSD?
$sudo pkg info pkg
Yes I had output.
$sudo pkg2ng
Yes it worked now.
Chromium and Hatari still would not install with the same errors as in the built in Package Manager and as with prior attempts. So there problem is either in the FreeBSD base used in GhostBSD or in the FreeBSD 9.2 Repository. At this point short of compiling the packages from Source there is nothing that can be done. With Version 4.0 weeks away there's no use in trying any further on this.
Thanks to everyone for their help on this.
