Dear Experts, I have installed and started to work with fink on MacOSX (Version 10.1.2) about one week ago and I am quite satisfied with it's performance. So, congratulations to all who are contributing to the fink project.
However, I think there are some drawbacks which may people (non developpers) prevent from using fink on a daily basis. I am missing some key applications of X11-systems like ghostview. Yesterday, I have tried desperately to install ghostview from different websites (Even the official one was among them). I didn't succed to compile the ghostview application. It failed with a hell of error messages. Are there packages of ghostview available for fink. I know ghostview is available for MaC (OS9 ?) but when you run fink in full screen mode it is quite annoying to always switch between the two systems. During the compilation procedure I also notice that some standard include files like 'stdio.h, time.h etc.' are missing although I have also installed all developers packages (For compilation I have created some of these files with 0 length, a little bit bizarre). Is this somehow already included into the cc-compiler available for fink or how do developers get access to these standard include files ? Also an implementation of latex would be highly welcome. I do not think that I have the capabilities to port the mentioned packages myself to fink, small changes I could do, nevertheless. If there is somebody out there who can give me a clear answer to my questions I would be very grateful. Even the answer that it is not possible or not foreseen to port the mentioned packages would help. This would refrain me from trying and searching.
