Okay, fink HEAD now refuses to allow a user to selfupdate via the "cvs" or "rsync" methods unless both /usr/bin/gcc and /usr/bin/make are present and executable. Further, this same condition is checked before attempting to compile any package from source, and a message about installing XCode is displayed. Still need to make the selfupdate check more user-friendly, but it works. I guess we'll want to back-port this into fink-0.24.x and push through a bindist update? Otherwise the folks that need it won't ever see it:) dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
