Hello, My first post! I'm a complete novice! Any help will be much appreciated!
Ultimate goal: install coot and ccp4 I have a macbook pro leopard os x version 10.5.7 I'm following directions from this site: http://sage.ucsc.edu/~wgscott/xtal/wiki/index.php/Quick_Start I successfully installed xcode and x11 (from xquartz 2.3.3.2) and fink 0.9.0 binary installer (intel). So, I opened a terminal window from x11, edited the file /sw/etc/fink.conf and added the final two entries to the line "Trees" (directed from the above website) and did the following: bash-3.2$ fink index Scanning package description files.......... bash-3.2$ fink selfupdate-rsync Please note: the command 'fink selfupdate' should be used for routine updating; you only need to use 'fink selfupdate-cvs' or 'fink selfupdate-rsync' if you are changing your update method. Failed: Sorry, fink doesn't support rsync updating in the 10.5 distribution at p resent. bash-3.2$ fink selfupdate The file "CURRENT-FINK-10.5" already exists. (1) Delete it and download again (2) Assume it is a partial download and try to continue (3) Don't download, use existing file How do you want to proceed? [1] curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.27.13' -O http://www.finkproject.org/ CURRENT-FINK-10.5 % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 13 0 13 0 0 553 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 13000 I will now download the package descriptions for Fink 10.5-0.9.0.2 and update the core packages. After that, you should update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'. tar -xzf dists-10.5-0.9.0.2.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors ### execution of tar failed, exit code 2 Failed: unpacking dists-10.5-0.9.0.2.tar.gz failed bash-3.2$ HELP? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
