Very Computer

newbie question

I recently installed NetBSD 1.6.1 on my Sparc 5
After downloading and compiling pkgsrc, I ran 'make' and 'make install'
from the /usr/pkgsrc/shells directory.
BASH 2.0.5 appears to be a part of 'shells' installed , however, it does not
appear to run once installed.

Anyone know how to get bash to run? ksh & tcsh appear to run just fine (as a
result of  running 'make' & 'make install')
Any tricks or advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Did you do 'make' and 'make install' directly in pkgsrc/shells or in
one of the bash subdirectories (bash2, static-bash2)?

Does it work when typing '/usr/pkg/bin/bash'? What does 'pkg_info |
grep bash' say?
