Hi, Hope I'm not sending this message twice. I think I accidentally sent it to the wrong person.
Could someone please tell me if it is possible to use Fink to install sources that do not appear in finkCommander or the fink database. If it is, can someone please explain in simple terms how. I've spent most of the day searching but I don't really know what to search for as I am new to this. I specifically need to install boost 1.35.0_2, mkvToolnix and mpeg4ip. thanks, Terrence On 23 Sep 2008, at 04:34, Alexander Hansen wrote: > > On Sep 22, 2008, at 9:54 PM, Mine wrote: > > >> Hi, >> >> I am trying to install Boost 1.35.0_2 (OSX 10.4.11) which does not >> appear FinkCommander.
