[Fink-beginners] Confused about perl installation (5.6 and 5.8)

2003-06-12 Thread Robert Forster
carrying on with the recent perl 5.6 vs 5.8 threads. A long time ago I installed 5.8.0 on my machine and it messed up a perl program I was trying to run (Primrose). For other reasons I then reformatted my HD, started over and left my perl version at 5.6.0, as installed by Apple. I didn't consci

Excuse me if there is an obvious answer to this question that I haven't stumbled across. I just finished updating my KDE-office programs to 1.2.1-2 yesterday. This morning I see there are new packages ver. 1.2.1-3 available. When I went through the Sourceforge cvs site I found a notation that th

[Fink-beginners] OS X on one display, X11 on the other?

2003-01-16 Thread Robert Forster
I've seen a few threads where people have different X11's on different displays, but I couldn't work out how to do it. Is it possible to have OS X running on my main display and have X11 apps (KDE, Arb) running on my second display. I currently drag the X11 windows over to the other screen, but

2002-11-26 Thread Robert Forster
Sorry, a real newbie question. I've just installed the fink-0.5.0-full package. I'm now going to install xfree86. Should I install the threaded or non-threaded version? What's the difference (meaning I'm not really sure what threads are and if they are important, do they have something to do wit

I had trouble getting all the package description files for my G4, running 10.2.1 behind a firewall. I removed /sw and started over, downloaded the fink-0.4.1 full source tarball and did a boostrap install. It installed fine. Fink list showed all the packages in stable and unstable. I then insta

[Fink-beginners] no cvs- Getting package description lists

2002-11-07 Thread Robert Forster
Hello once again. Because of a firewall I can't use fink selfupdate-cvs. So is it possible to manually download the files that are obtained by the cvs command. What files do I need (info files?), where can I get them and where do I put them. Would it be possible to copy files from an imac that
