Hi Dave I've fixed it by marking pdftk for 10.4 and 10.5 only. It should not show up in fink on 10.6. :( Maybe MacPorts still has it.
pdftk is an unhealthy amalgan of the java iText PDF library and a convenient command-line interface written in C++. If the command-line would have been written in Java instead of creating a maintenance nightmare of compiling iText as a native library, it would be still in Fink. The current problem is that the original code does things which are not possible in this setup. GCC up to 4.2 ignored this, but 4.3 and higher (rightly) throw an compile error So, it can only compiled with gcc 4.2. Apple provides a gcc-4.2 on 10.6, but it does not provide the Java compiler. Compiling gcc-4.2 on Snow Leopard is rather tricky, so the Fink Core developers decided to get rid of it. More on this here: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/13553 Jack Howarth mentioned a possible solution here: http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg18449.html Jack: How far did you get? :) I guess I'll also spend an evening to see, if I can just comment out the offending code. I'll keep you informed. Cheers, Matthias On 30.08.2009, at 22:51, David Kamholz wrote: > Hi, > > I've installed the 64-bit fink on Snow Leopard.
