When I tried to install the unison package, it failed. I am up to date (fink selfupdate). Below is the output towards the end where it failed. The error suggests a problem with the ocaml distribution. FWIW, I found that I could install via "unison-aqua" distribution, through there is a t

[Fink-devel] rebuilding for 10.6

2009-08-30 Thread Jack Howarth
