14 Did you copy the entire PKGDIR heirarchy? It normally looks something like:
15
16 $PKGDIR/All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
17 ...
18 $PKGDIR/dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2 -> ../All/glib-1.2.10-r5.tbz2
19
20 If you just copied the 'All' directory, without the symlinks, this
21 could account for the behavior you are seeing.
