Hi, 

1. I'm trying to get things set up on Yosemite. I have to reinstall everything 
from scratch, and have run into a couple of snafus. The immediate one that 
surfaced on more than one package is that some packages seem to require xmkmf. 
For example: 

Tue 21 Oct 8:22pm> fink install texlive
Information about 9905 packages read in 1 seconds.
Can't resolve dependency "xmkmf (>= 1.0.2-3)" for package 
"texlive-0.20110705-105" (no matching packages/versions found)
Exiting with failure.

This also happened with xfig. 

Looking around, it seems that xmkmf is an outdated form of makefile that is no 
longer supported. What do we do for packages that we need such as these? Do I 
move to MacPorts or something else? Can I get xmkmf somewhere? 

2. The package listing on the fink website doesn't work: 
http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/index.php?phpLang=en

It says "The database was last updated Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:01:27 (UTC) and 
currently lists 1 packages in 26 sections." and a search or clicking on one of 
the sections, picks up nothing. Is the web listing dead? 

Thanks for any help!
