let me know what you think of that, and then i'll try your newer advice about 'fink install libpng3-shlibs' and such.

thanks again.

jdhorner,

I would try first to run:

'apt-get -f install'

and see what comes out, if that doesn't work, maybe try updating all the xfree86 packages:

'fink update xfree86-base'
'fink update xfree86-rootless'
'fink update xfree86-rootless-shlibs'

Cheers...

Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

of course, at this part, i say no 'cause it wants to UNinstall everything that what i'm trying to install depends on. or should i let it uninstall all of that and then re-install the kde-bundle-ssl-whatever package ?

i'll try your second tip first.

thanks

sao

just a few more quick notes:

1. updating xfree86 stuff went fine.
2. booted kde, same problem.
3. decided to go back to sq. one with fink and visited their page on sf.net
4. found this page: http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php
5. realized that this is NOT how i installed fink on my fresh install of jaguar a few months ago. i used their binary installer. but their page on the binary installer seems to indicate that the newest verison installs fine on 10.2. the like above, however, does NOT lead to this same conclusion.

finally, does this mean that i should scrap my entire install of fink and start over by following the bootstrapping instructions?

what do you think?

You mean to say that you used the Fink-0.4.1 binary installer in 10.2?

If you did that, I would suggest you to delete your Fink and XFree86 installation and start from scratch again. If you don't know what to delete, let me know.

And then, install again Fink with the Fink 0.5.0a Binary Installer from here:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php

Cheers...

no, no.

i used their most recent binary installer 0.5.0a for my fresh jag install originally. which, according to their install page, is fine.

why then, at THIS page: http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php do they have THIS text: "Here are the step-by-step instructions to install Fink on Mac OS X 10.2." ?

i mean, why do this bootstrap stuff if the binary installer is supposed to do that?

are we supposed to use the binary install 0.5.0a on OSX 10.2.x ONLY if we're upgrading and use the bootstrap method if we're installing from scratch?

do you see what i mean?

No, the bootstrap method was the way to install Fink from scratch in 10.2, before they released the binary installer.

At the moment, as I understand it, if you want to install Fink from scratch in 10.2 you should use the Fink 0.5.0a Binary Installer.

However, somethings must have gone wrong in your installation, and I would install from scratch again. We can do it together if you want.

Cheers...

jdhorner,

Maybe, if you decide to reinstall you could try installing the Fink source release from here:

http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/srcdist.php

Let me know.

Cheers...

sao (and everyone else)

thanks so much for your help and sorry for such a delayed reply. after running:
'fink install libpng3-shlibs'
and then redoing the compile for KDE worked!

it finally works. everything is there and functional.

of course, now that i have it working, i wish it were a little faster. i do get some improvements if running it under >console instead of via terminal when logged into my OSX account.

anyway, thanks again for all your help.
