Hi all, recently I have recently installed panther in my computer, and I have tried to selfupdate by just doing: fink selfupdate. When I do this thing the program dies during the compilation of the libiconv-1.9.1-11 library. This is last lines of the selfupdate;
gcc -I. -I. -I../include -I./../include -I/sw/include -g -O2 -DLIBDIR=\"/sw/lib\" -DENABLE_RELOCATABLE=1 -DIN_LIBRARY -DINSTALLDIR=\"/sw/lib\" -DNO_XMALLOC -Dset_relocation_prefix=libiconv_set_relocation_prefix -Drelocate=libiconv_relocate -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c ./iconv.c -fno-common -DPIC -o .libs/iconv.o
./loop_wchar.h:28: header file 'wchar.h' not found
cpp-precomp: warning: errors during smart preprocessing, retrying in basic mode
make[1]: *** [iconv.lo] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
### execution of make failed, exit code 2
Failed: compiling libiconv-1.9.1-11 failed
This is actually quite odd for tow reason. The first one that if I do locate on my computer it seems that I have newer version of this library installed.
/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/libiconv-1.7-5.info
/sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/finkinfo/base/libiconv-1.7-5.patch
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/base/libiconv-1.7-5.info
/sw/fink/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/base/libiconv-1.7-5.patch
/sw/lib/libiconv.2.0.4.dylib
/sw/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/sw/lib/libiconv.dylib
/sw/lib/libiconv.la
/sw/share/doc/libiconv
/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/libiconv.list
/sw/var/lib/dpkg/info/libiconv.postinst
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.2.0.dylib
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib
/usr/lib/libiconv.dylib
/usr/share/doc/libiconv
Above in the locate output it seems that I have installed version 2.04 of libiconv.
The second reason this odd is that error compilation error is due the absence of the header file "wchar.h', which according to a os X release note
is not supported
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2071.html
wchar.h
Not supported, use CoreFoundation[40] localized string API.
Fink actually uses this header for self updating as well as for the installation of programs such as abiword, thus rendering fink helpless for the installation of those programs.
My Fink version is 0.6.2.cvs and my computer is:
<x-tad-smaller> CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.2)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB

Boot ROM Version: 4.47fl
One more thing I read in the FINK FAQ people reporting problems with X11 (http://ranger.befunk.com/blog/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=259). I do not have those problems, but there it is suggested to do
fink-virtual-pkgs and see if p</x-tad-smaller><x-tad-bigger>ackage: system-xfree86</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger> section is present and the </x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>provides:</x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger> line contains </x-tad-bigger><x-tad-bigger>x11.
Actually, I do not see that line. This is what I got instead

</x-tad-bigger>And this is all. Any help to make the fink selfupdate work will be appreciated.
