After successfully installing several binary packages with Fink, I have tried for the first time to install a package only available in the unstable tree ("sodipodi") from source, using FinkCommander.
I was first a bit puzzled by fink asking me to choose between two libs to satisfy a dependency, e.g.:
"fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) freetype2-shlibs: TrueType font rendering library, version 2, shared libs
(2) freetype2-hinting-shlibs: TrueType font rendering library, version 2, shared libs"f
this happened a couple of times, so as I don't know which one to choose I accepted the default response, except for:
"fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) ghostscript: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
(2) ghostscript6: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01
(3) system-ghostscript6: Placeholder package for manually installed ghostscript 6.01
(4) system-ghostscript8: Placeholder package for manually installed ghostscript 8.00"
where I replied (2).
Were these the correct answers?
Then the downloads began, until after one hour or so I got this:
curl -f -L -s -S -O ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/v1.2/v1.2.3/gimp-1.2.3.tar.bz2 curl: (22) The requested file was not found ### execution of curl failed, exit code 22 Downloading the file "gimp-1.2.3.tar.bz2" failed.
(1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your country (4) Retry another mirror (5) Retry using next mirror set "master"
How do you want to proceed? [3]
I accepted the default response, got the same problem, then tried (4), no way, so I decided to give up, and the installation process stopped.
My questions:
- is this package (gimp-1.2.3.tar.bz2) the whole package for "The GIMP"? I'm surprised that Sodipodi requires The GIMP to be installed.
- how can I clean my /sw directory from all previoulsy downloaded dependencies, that are useless if I can't manage to download this one?
- how can I successfully install Sodipodi?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
