You did update XCode, right? I installed the XCode package from my Tiger installation DVD (version 2.1) - is that recent enough? > No. In the Fink world apt-get ONLY knows about binaries. So does this mean that I would get the desired effect (upgrade to the binary packages in 10.4-transitional) with `apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade'? -- Stephen Cornell [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44-113-3432899 Institute of Integrative and Comparative Biology University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
