uh oh. I spoke too soon! yes the original things I was trying to do worked, but I just tried to install mysql with apt-get, and I got this error:
dpkg: error processing mysql (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: mysql E: Sub-process /sw/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) any ideas what to do now? Basically it seems that MacGimp gives you a completely broken version of fink that only works with Gimp. I probably should update it all. But fink selfupdate returns an error message too: cvs: Command not found. ### su failed, exit code 1 Failed: Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed. looks like cvs is missing... dselect ain't there either. awww, and I was so chuffed we'd got it going! trying to install cvs with apt-get - seems to be working - but then so did mysql We'll see... >I hadn't edited .tcshrc yet. >(yes, echo works) >I've now inserted the line into .tcrsh with pico... >and yay it works :} thanks guys! > >>As I thought. >>The important part of Marcello's suggestion for our current purposes is >>the 'source /sw/bin/init.csh' line.
