problem with Architecture Selection
i have installed open bsd on a server
(http://www.supermicro.com/products/s...5A-H.cfm?typ=H) how do i know which Architecture Selection for OpenBSD 4.5 to use among (alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 mips64 powerpc sh sparc sparc64 vax)? I am asking this becasue I get the following error message when i try to install rrdtool Can't install rrdtool-1.2.30: lib not found freetype.16.1 Dependencies for rrdtool-1.2.30 resolve to: libart-2.3.20p0, png-1.2.33 Full dependency tree is libart-2.3.20p0,png-1.2.33 and I have used i386 machine for my package path (i.e. ftp://ftp_path/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/packages/i386/) thanks |

Intel/AMD or Via x86 processors are supported by either the i386 or amd64 ports (..sometimes both), if you installed OpenBSD/i386, you must use packages compiled for that architecture.
You can confirm which architecture you're using via the uname(1) command: $ uname -m Please note; that the error you're seeing is likely related to the fact that you have not installed the appropriate X sets.. which many ports rely on for additional libraries (..freetype in this case). See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html#AddFileSet for more information about that. |

FreeType is a font library, it is part of Xenocara in OpenBSD.. and several times people have posted on the mailing lists about being unable to install a specific library on their headless server/router that doesn't have the X sets installed.
Also; locate freetype.so.16.1 shows that it is in /usr/X11R6/lib, no ports are allowed to install libraries outside of /usr/local. Hope that helps. |
