Great, the workaround (to move the Qt files in /Library/Frameworks/ to a temp folder) worked!

After your last email I was wondering if I could just do something like that, but I get nervous moving around files when I don't fully understand which program installed them and if they're system-critical.

And yes, good guess on the connection. I would not ordinarily have mentioned "my hubby" in a help forum such as this, but as Kurt is a Fink maintainer for some packages, I figured many of you guys know him, or at least know of him. :)

Thank you, Alexander!

Hi Alexander,

Sorry, I wasn't sure how far back in the text to go and this is my first fink help request. I thought you might need to see the last link call with the percentage done, since there was not a clear compile command line to start from.

Any idea why QGIS would be linking to /usr/lib/libexpat.dylib when I installed Fink and I would assume, therefore, all Fink packages in /sw/?


It doesn’t explicitly have a dependency on expat1 currently, so If you didn’t happen to that installed then the build will find and use the system’s expat instead.


The following are a list of Qt Frameworks in /Library/Frameworks:
QtAssistant.framework
QtCore.framework
QtDBus.framework
QtDesigner.framework
QtDesignerComponents.framework
QtGui.framework
QtHelp.framework
QtNetwork.framework
QtOpenGL.framework
QtScript.framework
QtScriptTools.framework
QtSql.framework
QtSvg.framework
QtTest.framework
QtWebKit.framework
QtXml.framework
QtXmlPatterns.framework


I'm really a novice when it comes to Fink, so I am not sure where to go from here. My husband tried to help me out with this (Kurt Schwehr) but he ended up with the same errors I received. Since he is so busy and I am trying to learn, I thought it would be good for me to put in the help request.

(sending this again with better cc and reply)

I’d wondered whether there was some connection. :-)

My guess is that those Qt frameworks in /Library/Frameworks are being used and giving missing symbol errors because they aren’t the same as Fink’s analogs. Ideally, the build really should try to avoid picking those up—it might need to be altered to get rid of the -F/Library/Frameworks declaration (another note to the maintainer).

As a workaround, at some point when you aren’t using any third-party stuff which needs those frameworks, create a folder in /Library/Frameworks and stash all of the Qt frameworks there. Then when you’re done with the build you can restore them.
