If you're still confused, post the output from:

Exactly. I am trying to avoid having to "export PKG_PATH" every time the system is rebooted.

after i used the echo PKG_PATH this is what i got

# $OpenBSD: dot.profile,v 1.5 2005/03/30 21:18:33 millert Exp $
#
# sh/ksh initialization

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH
: ${HOME='/root'}
export HOME
umask 022

if [ -x /usr/bin/tset ]; then
eval `/usr/bin/tset -sQ \?$TERM`
fi
export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/packages/i386/
~
~
~


it just added the line after fi which is the bottom of the file as ocicat has said but it still does not find the package.

ps: i am wondering if i am editing the wrong file. i am editing the .profile file found in root directory (i.e. "/" not "/root")
