Oops! I just gave you a hint.
Ah, but a manual build isn't a package management system. You have a one-time manual task that has no clear reproducibility or deterministic results, but accomplishes a specific niche task. Thus, that situation and results are unrelated, and indeed almost completely opposite what fink, and indeed any reliable good package management system stands for. As for 4 and your MacPorts (remember, it changed names a while ago!), you have already been told that fink already does have an svn that does not require x11. So clearly you're here to troll not to learn. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
