1.5       asau       14: Before you can use pkgsrc, you may need a few packages installed on your Linux system upfront.
1.2       schmonz    15: 
                     16: * gcc (and libstdc++)
                     17: * libncurses-devel
                     18: * zlib and zlib-devel
                     19: * openssl-devel (optional but required for some packages) 
                     20: 
                     21: The names may vary, depending on what Linux distribution you are using. Also be mindful of the platform you are using (eg. i686 vs. x86_64 - some have different pre-required packages). Also note that some very basic tools such as file, patch, sed, and others are required, as well.
