[Fink-beginners] TERMCAP library

2003-02-23 Thread Jerry Leach
where the heck do I get the termcap library? One bit of software I've been trying to compile keeps bombing out. I think it's because there's no termcap. any help would be ENORMOUSLY appreciated. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Slick

[Fink-beginners] Executing commands

2003-02-23 Thread David Arndt
When I try to execute a command from a program I just installed with FinkCommander, I get a "Command not found" message. For example, I downloaded ddd, and it opens properly when I execute it directly from within /sw/bin/ . When I'm in another directory, though, and I type "ddd", I get the mess

I ended up finding and editing the .info file to remove the postgres dependencies. As far as I can tell, "fink install gnucash" installs the equivalent of "fink install gnucash*" which includes gnucash-sql. I couldn't figure out how to do "fink install gnucash gnucash-docs !gnucash-sql", so ed

.tcshrc lives in your home directory. Files beginning with a dot are invisible to the finder. Make sure you add the search criterion "visibility: either" in Find File. Either that or just type "cat ~/.tcshrc" in a terminal to show it's contents, if any. On Sunday, February 23, 2003, at 07:49 P

I'll put it on the list, so that some more brainpower can be brought to bear. It looks like the package database has forgotten about your installed packages--you get thd darwin and macosx packages because they get read from your system. It looks like you didn't lose any of the files installed by

How can we know if you don't tell us the error--i.e. send at least the output from your compilation? If you mean the dependencies, you certainly could delete them: "fink remove " would do it. On Sun, 23 Feb 2003, jose manuel wrote: > > > Hello, > > Due to any reason I'm unable to c

Does "fink list -i" show the correct installed packages? If so, then this may be a Fink Commander specific issue, and you'll want to check the Fink Commander mailing lists (go to http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net). On Sun, 23 Feb 2003, Aleksi Aaltonen wrote: > Hi, > > I recently installed Fin

You can install the binaries using the low-level dpkg command: dpkg --install where the latter means that you have to give the filename, including path information, rather than just the package name. If /sw/fink/debs is still intact, you can use the symbolic links there as your filenames, rathe

Are you running stable or unstable, what version of python do you have installed 'fink list python'. Try 'fink rebuild python' and see if that helps, also pymol is currently broken in unstable due to the new python update, but hope to have that fixed shortly. Matt On Saturday, Feb 22, 2003, at
