Hello all,
I would like to install minicom. I have the latest fink running
on the latest Mac OS (10.5). I ran 'fink configure' to add the
unstable tree, and then 'fink selfupdate; fink index; fink
scanpackages ' as suggested in the FAQ. but (at bottom, below), fink
still can't find minicom. Why not?
The package exists: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/minicom
