Okay, I get: [localhost:~] brandonp% gnome-config --libs vfs -L/sw/lib -lgnomevfs [localhost:~] brandonp% and when I use fink list I get (abbreviated): i gnome-user-docs 1.4.1.1-2 General GNOME User Documentation gnome-utils 1.4.1.2-3 GNOME utility programs gnome-vfs 1.0.5-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries gnome-vfs-dev 1.0.5-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries gnome-vfs-shlib 1.0.5-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries i gnome-vfs-ssl 1.0.3-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, wi... i gnome-vfs-ssl-d 1.0.3-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, wi... i gnome-vfs-ssl-s 1.0.3-5 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries, wi... gnome-vfs2 2.0.1-2 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries gnome-vfs2-dev 2.0.1-2 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries gnome-vfs2-shli 2.0.1-2 The GNOME virtual file-system libraries
Let me be really clear on this, I'm not a *nix guy. :) I've very little experience, mostly in the last couple of months. That's part of why I appreciate fink so much. If I am understanding this conversation correctly, then the pkg dependencies aren't correct so fink is trying to install all I need, BUT when gcc is running, it's checking for some items that aren't present. I'm not sure what vfs adds to the gnome-config command, but libs is supposed to display the linked libraries--but I'm not really sure what each does-I understand dependencies to be essentially this---the system is modular ie, You can add the stereo pkg to the car, but fink is supposed to make sure there's a battery, cables to supply the power, speaker wires and speakers to go with that stereo. Essentially the libraries are adding functionality to the system so the programs can function properly. The problem I have is that not all the libs I actually need are present (or they're not linked if that's even a possibility). So what do I need to do to fix the problem? Of course, truth be told the problem is not really obvious. My X-Windows system is working fine (except I can't launch control-center) and all the apps I want to use work fine: gimp, abiword, gnumeric, xgalaga :) When I had the problem with xemacs updating, I just removed it, since I have no need (that I know of) for it anyway. Should I remove my gnome-vfs-ssl** and install gnome-vfs2-***? Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but I have several listings in dselect that show obsolete packages with no info (at the top, when it first launches). I can't remove them because it tells me most of my current software requires them. Why, if they're obsolete? Hope I'm not rambling too much. Maybe I can contribute more solutions when I get more experience. :) Thanks for all the hard work and brainpower ya'll have put into the project!
