Fink is written in perl; you can find the perl scripts in the directory /sw/lib/perl5/Fink. (They are launched by another perl script /sw/bin/fink.) Searching on "error" and "die" should locate the places in the code where fink generates an error message, and what those messages are. Of course, fink calls other programs such as dpkg, which may generate error messages of their own. And the number of possible errors messages during compilation is very large, since they'll be generated by the Makefiles of individual packages. Sorry, fink is not localized. We've talked about localizing it, but it would take a major rewrite of the code and so far nobody has volunteered to do that. -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
