*PLEASE* anyone using NetBSD-current should be subsribed to the NetBSD
current-users mailling list.  NetBSD-current core members very
infrequently scan the newsgroups for problems.  You would know all
about the current state of NetBSD-current if you had been subscribed.
:-)

Send mail to majordomo@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu with just "help" (no
quotes) in the body.  It will tell you how to get subscribed to
current-users.

In the mean time, you need to grab the *latest* binaries from
ftp.iastate.edu or sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu and install them first.
There have been some incompatible changes made lately to move certain
internal things from 32-bits to 64-bits and 16-bits to 32-bits.  Once
you extract a new set of binaries, make sure your sources are
completely up to date before building new things (especially your
include files).

If you get stuck, mail to current-users@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu is
the appropriate forum.  Good luck.
