2002-12-30 Thread Ben Horner
Hello all, I started up the kde, and was happy to find KMail, which I could use for my email client... Unfortunately, I set it up to delete my mail off of the server, so now I have a whole bunch of mail in KMail only. The thing is, that with the firewall setup here at work, I am not allowed to se

This probably is a trivial question, but... I need to port a soft that works on unix platforms to MacOs. Since Os X is a unix, it should not be a problem, but if that was THAT easy, this forum would not exist... In the install script, it is said that my program needs gmake. I understand this is gn

So far I've unsuccessfully tried to run fink install packagename and the dselect program within fink, and I've not been very successful. Is there some gui that sits atop fink to make it easier to download and install packages? Alternatively, once I go through the dselect program and indicate
