Hi Nelis,

FreeBSD 5.2
===========

Tks for your advice.

# cd /usr/ports/
# make search name=gaim
Port:   gaim-0.73
Path:   /usr/ports/net/gaim
......

But the lastest version is
gaim-0.77.tar.gz
which has been downloaded to
/usr/home/download/

I expect to install "gaim-0.77.tar.gz"
Can I perform as follow;
# cd /usr/home/download/
# pkg_add gaim-0.77.tar.gz

Or
installing the package starting from its tarball
# cd /usr/home/download/
# tar zxvf gaim-0.77.tar.gz
# cd /usr/home/download/gaim-0.77
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Kindly advise.  TIA

B.R.
Stephen
