What OS version are you on? (we're not mind-readers here, and you haven't sent us a login and password to your box to check your system) If you're on 10.6 there's *no* official binary distribution, and so apt-get isn't going to know about anything other than packages you have build on your machine via "fink install". There is an unofficial binary distribution for 10.6 (meaning that the project doesn't control the server): http://finkers.wordpress.com/2009/06/01/fink-and-binary-distributions/ but it's not comprehensive. You're really going to need to use "fink install" for the most part. Remember that Fink Is Not Kubuntu. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktN2mQACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ9elQCfXWLjCxL+sjBEJDC4Bak0cLYY 1sQAoIik3dfAy2VOHc8fSj7LzIUYERqR =ewAK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
