The "mc wants old libintl but misssing dependency on it" is old and is (or at least was) well-known, along with the solution ("install gettext"). We obviously can't fix the original binary installer, but IIRC the dependency has been added in all updated distros a loooong time ago. That's why fink provides live distros: we fix bugs as we find them:) dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Fink-devel mailing list Fink-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-devel
