Comment:
I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 and was wondering what I was doing wrong because pkg_add was acting weird like after I did it for wget-devel-1.9.1_1.tgz it would see wget for root and adam the user I used from su to get into root had it but libc.so.4 wasn't found. This was all done from SSH.
