Thanks for the help sao, that did the trick, although dpgk asked for a command not in the root path, but that was an easy fix. (update-rc.d was in /sw/sbin instead of the root's path, a simple cp to /usr/sbin worked fine).

fragerybou,

Glad it worked.

Cheers...

MervTormel,

If your apt tool is up to the newest version, then the problem seem to be in mixing source with binaries.

I have found through past experience that mixing the 2 is just not reliable ( for me ,anyway).


Cheers...

PS: Since I had problems mixing, I use source all the time, no binaries.

Hey sao, I seem to be running into the same problems Rusto was running into with mozilla. I've selfupdated and update-all'd many many times, reinstalled basically everything, and done everything you said to do. Neither Mozilla-1.1.0-1 or 1.1.0-2 work for me. They both give me the same errors which rusto reported. Using the stable 1.0 build of mozilla gave me a different compiler error involving darwin.c and the struct siginfo_t. I've basically given up on mozilla for now, since the uncompressed source for me is 324mb, about 6 times bigger than gimp. Frankly, that just seems a bit bloated for a web browser. But anyway, if you have any ideas, i'd love to hear them.

Thanks,

Geoff

fragerybou,

Yes, mozilla is a big monster. If you kept a copy of the installation log-errors, copy the last 15 lines and together with your system information post your problem to the fink-users list.

Cheers...

fragerybou, I've started a thread here so that we can keep this thread on topic.

Just for information:

There is no binary distribution for Jaguar yet. Thus, you cannot do something like 'apt-get install packagename' and have things work.


Follow the instructions on installing Fink from scratch on Jaguar here:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php


Or the instructions to Upgrade Fink for MacOS X 10.2 from here:
