That's OK once you've realised you have a problem, but I didn't for some time because if you've got fink.conf correct but the dists link wrong, pretty much nothing gets updated so errors don't show up: self-update is fetching the correct tree, but installing is using the (not updated) old one. I looked in the "installing and updating fink" sections hoping to find out what to do when updating OSX and didn't find mention of it, though it must be a fairly common thing people need to do. I then didn't recognise the heading in the FAQ (new developer tools) as also describing my situation (new version of OSX which includes new dev tools but that's not the main way I was thinking about it...) As ever, seems like all the info is there, but maybe could use another pointer to it under the downloads section (where the upgrade matrix lives) and under FAQ 4 about upgrading fink. I didn't scan through FAQ 5 on using fink because I thought I had an upgrade problem... cheers, -- Viv ------------------------------------------------ Dr Viv Kendon [EMAIL PROTECTED] QOLS tel: 020 7594 7746 Blackett Laboratory Imperial College London ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by Shop4tech.com-Lowest price on Blank Media 100pk Sonic DVD-R 4x for only $29 -100pk Sonic DVD+R for only $33 Save 50% off Retail on Ink & Toner - Free Shipping and Free Gift. http://www.shop4tech.com/z/Inkjet_Cartridges/9_108_r285 _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
