[Fink-users] Other LaTeX Packages
Hi, First, thank you Dave Morrison for maintaining teTeX on fink. Now my question: what is the preferred place to put packages I download from CTAN myself? On my Jaguar box, I found these: /sw/etc/texmf.local /sw/share/texmf /sw/share/texmf-local (a link to /sw/etc/texmf.local) /sw/var/lib/texmf I could create my own private area under $HOME (since I'm the only one using this box), or even under /Users/Shared, too.

Fink's tetex installation is configured to look for packages in two places besides the original installation tree: /sw/share/texmf-local for system-wide installation and $HOME/Library/texmf for single-user-only installation. (See the settings for TEXMFLOCAL and HOMETEXMF in /sw/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf for the actual configuration options.) TeTex expects a particular directory structure under these two locations; this parallels the structure that you can find in /sw/share/texmf. Bits of it are documented in the UK tex FAQ, available at http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?introduction=yes; some of the rest can be found in the TeTex documentation installed on your system. Wherever you put it, remember to run texconfig rehash after the installation; you may need to do that as root.

[Fink-users] Mouse Freezes Sporadically in KDE
I previously reported that the mouse freezes sporadically in KDE. I've since discovered that it's caused by the eSound daemon. The freezing doesn't occur when leaving sound enabled with auto-detect on. Specifically selecting eSound almost immediately causes a freeze. Auto-detect doesn't work though. I get a Information Arts Message during startup saying 'Error initializing the sound driver, couldn't auto detect which audio I/O method to use.' I tried rebuilding eSound but that didn't help.

Re: [Fink-users] Saving state on a machine
Cause in the last some months I was forced to re-install my system some times, it comes the question if it is possible to save the current state of Fink. I think something like a list with all installed Software, which i can restore by telling Fink, that it schould try to install all items on the list. This would also be helpfull if you have From an xterm/Terminal, you can do this bash$ dpkg --get-selections fink.selections this gives a list of packages and whether you want them to be installed or uninstalled. To restore state, I'm not 100% sure. Maybe this: bash$ dpkg --set-selections fink.selections bash$ sudo dselect select (type space to get out of the help, then Q to exit) bash$ sudo dselect install a lot of macs, and want to synchronize it. I can't figure out a way to do this, from the documentation provided on your web site. Of course I can run a script, installing a bunch of files (via the terminal and the apt-get command) but how can I create such a list/script? I have to say, that i'm not so familiar with the terminal use of fink, I mainly use FinkCommander.

Well, allow me to send what I sent to Martin earlier. After executing scanpackages, installing emacsen-common generated the following error.
