if you have XDarwin installed on your machine, which is available
independently from Fink, you don't need Fink to run silc. you'll just
need to download its source file, usually named
"silc-client-VERSION.tar.gz", untar it by "tar zxvf
silce-client-VERSION-tar.gz" on Terminal, read README and INSTALL,
follow instructions given.
i have a pretty vanllla system i highly doubt i have anything but the
OS and the developers tools, just do i could put fink in what would i
use x-darwin for, and how much more difficult will it be to get it way
rather than trying to fix fink. i have less than 10 gigs left on my
tibook?
as you may be increasingly aware my unix skills were rusty as best have
gotten worse
as far as i check it out now, default installation targets /usr/local.
so, if you may need to create /usr/local if you don't have one.
a caveat: if you don't have Developer Tools installed, available
freely from Apple's web site, you definitely need to install it;
without it, you can't install softwares in this fashion.
i have dev tools up to december of this year, and i have dev/local but
the volume has no space
hope this helps
cheers,
kow
