Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
I tried your suggestion, and while it ran successfully, I'm still seeing the same errors. This is very strange, as my Fink installation on my old machine (OS X 10.2.8) worked like a champ.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
Doing so does not include /sw in the poth (/sw/bin and /sw/sbin). manually adding these seems to correct the problem. Interestingly, terminals opened from Apple terminal do include these in the path, but the Apple X11 terminal does not. Do you know how to convince the X11 terminal to get the same environment as Apple's terminal? Thanks- Joel On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Alexander K.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
This corrected the file not found errors, but now when I run ethereal (which is really why I wanted to do all of this in the first place) I get: sudo ethereal dyld: ethereal can't open library: /sw/lib/libdl.0.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap I have tried removing ethereal (apt-get remove ethereal) and re installing (apt-get install ethereal), but I still get this error. I know that this is not ethereal support, but it appears to me that a dependency may not have been satisfied during my install. Is there a way to force a fresh install of the desired package AND dependent packages? Thanks again for the help- Joel On Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Alexander K.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
I went ahead and did sudo apt-get install dlcompat-shlibs, and it again complained about unmet dependencies. It also said that dlcompat-shlibs was already installed, so I tried to remove it, with more of the same dependency errors. All of this effort has really been to get ethereal working, and I noticed that ethereal needs gtk+, so I tried installing that with the following result: sudo apt-get install gtk+ Password: Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: xfree86: Depends: xfree86-shlibs (>= 4.3.99.16-2) but it is not going to be installed Conflicts: xfree86-base-threaded Conflicts: system-xfree86 but 2:4.3-2 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
I did as you suggested (wuen reinstalling the X11User and X11SDK, it said it would require 0 MB of disc space, and the button in the installer said "Upgrede"--is there some way to fully uninstall them first?). I'm getting gtk errors when I try to run ethereal, but this may be due to the fact that I'm getting an outdated version when I try to install it (ethereal, that is). I'm going to try to get the current stable version to see if that remedies the problem... Joel On Fri, 27 Feb 2004, Alexander K.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Error installing packages
WOOHOO Installing the current stable version of ethereal (after following your suggestions) was successful, and it appears that other X applications I wanted are working as well. Thank you very much, Alexander, for all of your help and patience with me. I appreciate it. Joel On Fri, 27 Feb 2004, Alexander K.

[Fink-beginners] please.. help with ethereal install
Hello- I recently had problems installing ethereal as well on Panther, and it ended up that I had to build the latest stable release from source (I believe it is version 0.10.0a-11). I did this through Fink commander by right-clicking on the name and selecting Source -> Install. I had tried updating the binary installation several times, but got the older version every time. Once I did the source install of the most recent stable version (which the fink web site lists as 0.10.0a-11), it worked like a champ. Might want to give that a try.

[Fink-beginners] Need help with KDE and related packages
Hello- I am trying to run some KDE apps (particularly kompare, which I installed via Fink Commander), and when I try to run kompare, I get a huge amount of what I assume is debug spewed to the console, and then a dialog opens, asking me for the files to compare. When I give it files, I get an error that says "Did not find our Part!" and Kompare dies. Perhaps the first question should be, do I have to specifically install and/or run any other KDE-related packages in order to get a single KDE related package to work? I'm new with using GNOME or KDE-based packages on OS X, so forgive me if this is just a dumb question.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Need help with KDE and related packages
I have kdesdk3 and kdesdk3-base installed, but haven't explicitly installed anything else KDE-related (aside from dependencies that Fink Commander worked out on its own). For what it's worth, when Kompare tells me that it can't find it's part, I see these lines in the console: kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: dlcompat: Symbol "_init_komparepart" not found kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: The library komparepart does not offer an init_komparepart function Any other thoughts?
