Hello,
I am trying to install pgplot using fink. However, it thinks I need g77 installed:
% /usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install pgplot Information about 3762 packages read in 3 seconds. The following package will be installed or updated: pgplot The following additional package will be installed: g77
But I already have g77, and it's newer than the fink version:
% g77 --version GNU Fortran (GCC) 3.5.0 20040429 (experimental) Copyright (C) 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
So, how can I (a) tell fink to skip the g77 dependency, or (b) that I already have it installed?
What would be required is a placeholder package (either a virtual one or one that actually installs files) to do this. Such a thing doesn't exist right now--apparently the system-fortran package is only for Absoft Fortran.
Try asking the Fink g77 maintainer to update Fink's version--that way everybody else can benefit, too!
I also tried simply installing pgplot manually, but that turns out to be a nightmare. I see in the pgplot.info file that there are lots of changes that I wouldn't know to make on my own...
thanks, Jason
