- - Fink installed app working in 10.2 (http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=5053)

Having trouble getting mozilla installed (your instructions grabbed v1.1.0-2 for me). I didn't see any dependencies needed for it, did I miss something? As you know the output of Fink is rather lengthy so I'm hesitant to post it here, so I've provided a link here, the pertinent stuff is at the end I'll bet.

I'm just thinking now...could the trouble be with Fink Commander?

rusto,

You are not up to date.

'fink selfupdate-cvs'

'fink update-all'

'fink install mozilla'

Try again and let me know.

Here is my setup, check for the differences with yours:

fink --version
Package manager version: 0.10.0
Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs

August update Dev Tools installed
xfree86-base-4.2.0.1-1
xfree86-rootless-4.2.0.1-1
(fink unstable/main unstable/crypto)

Cheers...

$ fink --version
Package manager version: 0.10.0
Distribution version: 0.4.0.cvs

August Dev Tools update installed

$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.1/specs
Thread model: posix

rusto,

Yes, keep running:

'fink selfupdate-cvs'

'fink update-all'

till 'fink install mozilla' works.

What about the xfree86-base/rootless version installed?

Cheers...

OK, I've moved everything from my finkcvs folder over...except for the individual CVS folders that came with the other stuff (your instructions in the thread did not say to move them over), I ran selfupdate-cvs and update-all again then fink install mozilla and still am getting errors.

when you say (in your pm to me) " then do: 'fink install packagename' one by one till you're up to date " are the packagnames ones that I should notice in the output of fink attempting to install mozilla?

EDIT: I do notice that now when I run fink selfupdate-cvs it says

Code:

su myUserName -c 'cvs -z3 update -d -P'

right at the start.

rusto,

No, what I meant is that when you run:

'fink update-all' it will probably stop when the mozilla install fails.

So, if you run: 'sudo fink list' you will see which packages still need to be installed to complete the 'update-all' (except mozilla which failed).

You can do 'fink install packagename' of all those packages still not installed (i) to complete the update-all.

Then, do fink update-cvs again. And so on.

Cheers...

Just installed nedit-5.3-5 and nano-1.0.9-1 with no problem.

Cheers...

This is known by the aspell maintainers and it is not a c++ Problem. It is a problem with an unclean implementation in aspell. This has been fixed in the CVS.

If you are interested, there is a native OS X version here that you can install in /Applications. It runs about 10 times faster.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/p...mg.gz?download

It is big, and has its own python, in a subdirectory (ext) which you can delete and then symbolically link to since 10.2 has its own python installation.

mule,

Thanks for the info. Yes, they already have in cvs a new upstream version that works in 10.2, aspell-0.50.1-1

Cheers...

wgscott,

Thanks a lot for the info. Will give it a try.

For those who are interested also, here is a copy of the release notes:

Quote:

Project: PyMOL Molecular Graphics System: Release Notes

Release Name: 0.84

Notes:
This is an updated beta test version of the Mac OSX native
port which now functions under MacOS 10.2 as well as 10.1.

You'll need a three-button or "wheel" mouse to use it effectively.

The 40 MB download is fully self contained -- nothing else
is required.

NOTE: this port is not yet a complete version of PyMOL,
since it lacks the standard menu bar.

Download the disk image, open it, and then follow the
instructions in "INSTALL.rtf".

Cheers...

Here is a screen shot and some of my notes:

wgscott,

Thanks for the link and info. And here is the link to the Pymol homepage for those who are interested:

I've tried the fink selfupdate-cvs, and fink updateall, but when it gets to gnome-libs-shlibs (required for gnome-libs-dev and gimp-shlibs), gnome-libs-shlibs fails to install. I've tried rebuilding the package, i've tried selfupdating over and over again, and nothing seems to work.

This is the error it spit out at me:

I also tried taking out the libart files from /sw/lib/ to see if that would help, and it didn't. Any ideas? Anyone with similar problems?

this has me vexed to no end. to install findutils package, which contains "find, locate, and xargs", fink reports all these X dependencies which seems wrong...

Failed: Dependencies not satisfied

fragerybou,

The problem here seems to be that some files have wandered from gnome-libs in the previous package version to gnome-libs-shlib in the current one, a problem sometimes occurring due to the split-off of the -shlibs packages.

In this case fink is not able to update without manual help.

Please run:

sudo dpkg -r --force-depends gnome-libs-dev gnome-libs gnome-libs-shlibs

to purge the old packages, and then run:

"fink update gnome-libs-dev".

Let me know.

Cheers...

MervTormel,

Please show me the result of:

fink list --section=x11-system

If you have installed the xfree86-base package, then choose no.(3) as a dependency.

Or, do you have Tenon's Xtools installed?

Cheers...

PS: Have you configured Fink to use unstable?

this is a new fink install. unstable was configured, but i disabled it. tested finkCommander 0.3.3a with this, too, which may have wonkied things. i do not wish to install any X tools at this time.

Code:

$ fink list --section=x11-system

MervTormel,

For the apt-get problem try running:

'sudo apt-get install apt'

This will download the latest version of apt and update you local install to use it.

Let me know if it works.

Cheers...

MervTormel,

I checked and the findutils package depends directly or indirectly on many other packages. Why is all this necessary, I have no idea.

I also find this exaggerated but that's how it is. Maybe you email the package maintainer and ask him the reasons.

Dave Vasilevsky <vasi@users.sourceforge.net>

If you do, please let me know his answer, I will also like to know.

Cheers...
