Have Windows XP, Unix Services 3.5 SP-8.0.1969.1.
Downloaded binary distribution of FreeTDS from tolls website, but trying to pkg_add it fails on obtaining some dependencies.

Can anyone tell me where the dependant packages can be found?

Many thanks. Output from pkg_add is below...

The dependencies are on the /Tools ftp site.
Normally, as you can tell by the URL's in the output, it tries to find the the
dependencies on the /Tools ftp site; it also tries the local directory.

The message about "unknown hostname part" looks like 'ftp.interopsystems.com' isn't
getting found in the DNS lookup, but the URL path doesn't look fully right because
it doesn't show the OS/MACHINE subdir in it.

Which version of pkg_add are you running? (pkg_add -V)
Do you have the env var PKG_PATH set to anything?

Diagnostic info as suggested...

$ echo $PKG_PATH

$
$ pkg_add -V
version 2.5.1

$ ping www.interopsystems.com
PING interopsystems.com (66.165.156.173): 56 data bytes

When I tried various ftp commands manually to locate the packages on the interopsystems website I failed to find them. tried putting the "pkgs/current/xxxxx-current-xxxx" in the URL but no luck.

What happens when you try manually downloading the packages?
