Changes were made in the URL structure of the official binary distribution after 10.5 support was dropped, and unfortunately those broke backwards compatibility. I don't personally have the time or an available 10.5 environment right now to do the testing needed to come up with a maintenance update to rectify this. (maybe if a coalition of 10.5 users come up with enough money to make it worth it for me to give up a weekend I'd be up for moving some virtual machines around to do that) A couple of workarounds are available: 1) You can download emacsen-common directly via a browser, wget, curl, etc...: http://bindist.finkmirrors.net/10.5/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/editors/emacsen-common_1.4.15-5_darwin-powerpc.deb then use "sudo dpkg -i /path/to/emacsen-common_1.4.15-5_darwin-powerpc.deb" to install the file. 2) Use "fink build emacsen-common" to generate a local copy of the package. This local build will take precedence over the binary distribution version, so "fink install maxima" should work automatically at that point. emacsen-common is tiny, so 2 is probably better than 1. You may also want to use "fink configure" to turn off the "use binary packages if available" option. The binaries for 10.5 were generated about 7 years ago and most packages have received updates since then. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
