I'm a fink package maintainer, who upgraded to Leopard this week.
Surprisingly, the support for 10.5.x from fink's side seems far from
ready. I don't know the reasons, but this is rather disturbing. To me,
fink is a method of delivering tools to people liking OS X and working
on the command line. They would expect a Leopard capable installer by
now.
Also, building from source did not work (PowerBook G4):
<<
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error:
C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
### execution of PERL=/usr/bin/perl failed, exit code 77
phase compiling: dpkg-bootstrap-1.10.21-1218 failed
Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and
try again. If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the
FAQ on fink's website solves the problem. If not, ask on the fink-users
or fink-beginners mailing lists, with a carbon copy to the maintainer:
Fink Core Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Note that this is preferable to emailing the maintainer directly, since
most fink package maintainers do not have access to all possible
hardware and software configurations.

Maybe I need to update the compiler?

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: powerpc-apple-darwin8
Configured with: /private/var/tmp/gcc/gcc-5367.obj~1/src/configure --

darwin8 --target=powerpc-apple-darwin8
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)

Anyways, the point is when could a Leopard installer be around. Any
estimate, whatsoever?
If so, please share that as News on the website, and warn people that
the binary installer is for 10.4 only.
Thanks.
