Sorry, not at the moment. If you look at the .info file for the package, it will list both Depends and BuildDepends. Then you need to look at the .info file for each of those packages, and so on. Some people have written scripts to help with this, but I don't recall if any of them are readily available. >> wget is required for the online help, as explained in the info file. > >I figured that.

With the single exception of X11, Fink only recognizes things installed in /sw, and expects to control everything which is installed into /sw. There are a few "system-foo" packages which are designed to make fink aware of software installed someplace else: values of foo include xfree86, tetex, ghostscript... i.e., large packages with standard alternate installation methods. You could construct a system-wget of your own if you like, and you could probably learn how by carefully studying the .info files of existing system-foo packages, but it's probably not worth the effort. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
