Thank you. I was able to build my software successfully.

How does one find out that, e.g., the package that provides pip is
py3-pip? I will respect an answer along the lines of "read the
fabulous manual", but in that case, please tell me which fabulous
manual page I should read.

Also -- and this may also be a matter of locating and reading the
appropriate fabulous manual page -- I clearly do not understand how
the asterisk character works with the pkg_add command. After failing
to install pip, pip3 or py310-pip, I tried the command

pkg_add -v \*pip\*

and that also failed. Is there a way (other than by perusing, with a
browser, a site where the packages reside) to find the package names
that contain a given substring?

As always, thank you in advance for any and all replies.
