Hi all ~ I'm trying to install Fink on SnowLeopard, a Mac OS X Server install currently running 10.6.2. I'm running into an error that I found online but had no answer to.
Online I found a reply to this list at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg24837.html Although it had no solution. The output of this command referenced on the webpage is below. This should be a first-time installation of Fink onto this machine. Does anybody have any suggestions? thanks for the help, ~ john % /sw/bootstrap/bin/dpkg -L base-files /._. /. /._sw /sw /sw/._bin /sw/bin /sw/bin/._editor /sw/bin/editor /sw/bin/._init.csh /sw/bin/init.csh /sw/bin/._init.sh /sw/bin/init.sh /sw/bin/._pager /sw/bin/pager /sw/._etc /sw/etc /sw/etc/._profile.d /sw/etc/profile.d /sw/etc/profile.d/._dummy.sh /sw/etc/profile.d/dummy.sh /sw/._include /sw/include /sw/._lib /sw/lib /sw/lib/._perl5 /sw/lib/perl5 /sw/lib/perl5/._auto /sw/lib/perl5/auto /sw/lib/perl5/._darwin /sw/lib/perl5/darwin /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/._auto /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto /sw/._sbin /sw/sbin /sw/._share /sw/share /sw/share/._base-files /sw/share/base-files /sw/share/base-files/._dir-base /sw/share/base-files/dir-base /sw/share/._doc /sw/share/doc /sw/share/doc/._base-files /sw/share/doc/base-files /sw/share/doc/base-files/._COPYING /sw/share/doc/base-files/COPYING /sw/share/._info /sw/share/info /sw/share/._man /sw/share/man /sw/._src /sw/src /sw/._var /sw/var /sw/var/._log /sw/var/log /sw/var/._run /sw/var/run /sw/var/._spool /sw/var/spool from http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php % curl -O http://superb-sea2.dl.sourceforge.net/project/fink/fink/0.29.10/fink-0.29.10.tar.gz ... % tar -xvzf fink-0.29.10.tar.gz ... % ./bootstrap ... hit return for all options install -c -p -m 644 fink.shlibs "/sw5/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/DEBIAN/shlibs" /bin/rm -f /sw5/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw5/info/dir /sw5/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw5/info/dir.old /sw5/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw5/share/info/dir /sw5/src/fink.build/root-fink-0.29.10-51/sw5/share/info/dir.old Writing control file...
