Re: [Fink-users] tetex situation
According to my system tetex-texmf is indeed available in binary form. Have you updated your package listings (these get updated much more frequently than major version releases are made)? Do a 'sudo apt-get update' and see if you can proceed. -- Alexander K.

I would like to install tetex-base and tetex-texmf but tetex-texmf does not show up in dselect and using apt-get tells me there are broken packages. (Note, I'm using the latest fink, I down-loaded it yesterday) Does some of this HAVE to be done through the source? and if so why is tetex-base etc. listed in dselect and apt-get? Thanks.

You may have a bad file. Try removing the tetex-base*.deb file from /sw/var/cache/apt/archives, so that you can try with a freshly downloaded deb file. -- Alexander K.

Re: [Fink-users] tetex situation
Hmmm. The problem looks to be in a different location than I had thought. It definitely looks like circular dependencies.

Re: [Fink-users] tetex situation
The tetex-texmf package is not available as a binary. You must compile it from source, for licensing reasons. We realize that this makes things a bit awkward when using apt-get or dselect. However, the actual compiling step does not take very long in this instance. You will need to have the Developer Tools installed, and then say fink install tetex-texmf. Once tetex-texmf is installed, you can use apt-get or dselect to install the remainder of the TeX packages. Your binary-only alternative is to install Gerben Wierda's teTeX distribution, and then install fink's system-tetex package. -- Dave ___ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ___ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users

Re: [Fink-users] tetex situation
Thanks for clarifying the situation. I was basing the availability on Fink Commander's display, which shows binary availability for tetex-texmf. This must be because I have the package built, so there is a binary on my system. -- Alexander K.
