Re: [Fink-users] Database software?
If you are looking for a spreadsheet, I would go with Gnumeric. Also, OpenOffice has a pretty nice spreadsheet application and is more like Appleworks (has lots of other stuff, you may or may not need). It is not very lightweight, however. Good luck.

I've heard that perl might do the job (?) I've looked at R which seems to have really powerful statistical tools, but perhaps a bit too much for the simple task of keeping track of a set of numbers corresponding to a set of names and producing histograms every now and then. I guess my question really is, if one would use latex in place of word, what might one use in place of excel or appleworks that would not take up as much resources, but yet is more powerful?

Re: [Fink-users] removing XDarwin in favour of X11
Many thanks Alexander, it's amazing the number of things i seem to continually ask about that is already discussed in the FAQ, and yet i always forget to look! Many thanks again.

Since the conflicting file is just a manpage, you should be free to follow the instructions in http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/comp-general.php#also_in . It still does need to be fixed. Alexander K.

Koen, You also shouldn't install test-harness: it too is included in perl580 (as well as file-spec). There are some 20 packages like that, which have to be fixed.

If you haven't rebooted since doing this build, could you tar up your /tmp/kde-build directory and e-mail it to me? (off-list please, it could be kind of big) I'll see if I can figure out what's going on... somewhere up above in that build karbon didn't complete. --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.

[Fink-users] Re: Wine On Mac
Hey Adrian, I am a member of the darwine project and there is a breif how to avail at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=743297&group_id=69890&atid=526089 We are all very excited about this port with both the success and progress we have made. So far a few membersof the project , myself included, have gotten wine to compile using Pierre's patch however seem to be having problems with the installation failing and actual wine binary executing. If you, or anyone for that matter would want to help out with the project it would be more than appricated. Thanks for spreading the word. Sanjay Connare
