So I have been using fink and Mac OSX with X11 for a while. I
reformatted and install 10.4 and now I'm trying to get things
operational again. I noticed that Fink Commander is packaged with Fink
0.8, but the Commander website says it won't work with anything newer
than OS 10.2 . Which is right?
Also, when I install a package - for example aterm - and try and run it
from the terminal or from X11's xterm, I get command not found in both
cases. I ran the pathsetup.sh thing and did
source /sw/bin/init.sh
to try to make things happy, but to no avail. Oddly enough, fink runs
just fine from both terminals, and when I do
fink list -i
aterm does in fact come up as being installed. Help?
The aterm package is broken on Tiger. The maintainer promised some time
ago to look after this, but so far I haven't seen a fix. Unfortunately,
the package in the binary distribution is broken, too. I have submitted
now a fixed version to CVS (fix based on the one for eterm wich had the
same problem on Tiger). So if you wait until version 0.4.2-4 shows up on
the servers, a "fink selfupdate" followed by "fink update aterm" (*)
should give you a package that contains /sw/bin/aterm and that therefore
gives you a command line "aterm" command.
(*) With FinkCommander, the equivalent would be to choose "build from
source".
