Hello!
I installed fink as i want to install PostgreSQL following apple's
guide (http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html)
My problem is, when i want to install "readline", i get the error "no
package found for specification 'readline'!" (as you can see below).
[DorianMac:~] dorian% sudo fink install readline
Password:
Information about 37 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'readline'!
[DorianMac:~] dorian% sudo apt-get -f install readline
Password:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package readline
Does anyone knows why i get this error and why there are only 37
packages shown (on fink website there are listed 3450 packages).
You have to update your package descriptions--Fink only starts
with a few packages.
Should i update the package list somehow?\
Yes
I went trough fink documentation as well trough the beginner mailing
list archive, but i couldn't find anything helpful.
Really? Did you look at
http://fink.sourceforge.net/users-guide/upgrade.php or
http://fink.sourceforge.net/download/index.php ? Both mention commands
to do updates
I am kind of newbie in unix, and i never used fink before.
Please help!
TIA
Dorian
