Thanks.
I had missed the notice on download page; maybe would have even if it
was in red.
Updating to XCode 3.0 is okay - just didn't find any notice about it
anywhere. Maybe one could be added to this page:
http://www.finkproject.org/download/srcdist.php
You will also need to install the Xcode Tools (c.f. the Quick Start
page).
>Important Note for Leopard Users: XCode 3.0 will be required to
build fink.
I REALLY value your and others efforts to keep 'fink' up to date. It
is the alter ego of OS X to me, and I couldn't do well without.
THANKS! :)

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.
There are reasons (see below)
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.

You need to install Xcode 3.0 . Every major version update on OS X
has
required a newer Developer Tools / Xcode Tools , and this is no
different.
Anyways, the point is when could a Leopard installer be around. Any
estimate, whatsoever?
"When it's ready".
In addition to package updates, our installer itself no longer works
on
Leopard.
If so, please share that as News on the website, and warn people that
the binary installer is for 10.4 only.
Thanks.

On the download page, we specifically note that there's no Leopard
installer.
