Re: [Fink-beginners] kmail trouble

2002-12-26 Thread Alexander Hansen
Do you have sendmail configured correctly? You definitely have to modify some files to get it to work on 10.1, and my recollection is that even on 10.2 some tweaks were needed. On Fri, 2002-12-20 at 16:53, Ben Horner wrote: > I am having trouble getting the outgoing half of kmail working... > I p

Re: [Fink-beginners] Fink and MacGimp conflict

2002-12-26 Thread Alexander Hansen
My recollection is that the MacGimp installer used an old version of fink, which could lead to later confusion when you install a new version. Removing /sw, installing fink, then using fink to install the GIMP is indeed the right way to go. On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 18:09, Tim Flood wrote: > I just

[Fink-beginners] What files for what packages?

Hi, Is there a way I can determine what files were installed by what packages? I need to re-install OS X and I want to retain only the software I want to retain; I'm probably going to delete /sw and omit fink this time around. (A lot of stuff kept falling apart, and I want to keep this system

OK. This is clearer. The question is now: Do you have these files or not? That is, do you have /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h and so on? If you don't, then your xfree86 installation is incomplete. What to do about this depends on how you installed xfree86: - If it is from Fink, then you need to

Putting the -- -rootless after startx seemed to fix it, thanks Kow K. It is printed that way on the fink web page, I just didn't read it carefully enough! :) I discovered that double clicking on X-Darwin in the applications directory does the same thing. (I did try it before and it worked the
