[Fink-users] Weird users installed

Hello all. I hope this hasn't been covered already, although I'm sure it has. I'm told that a list of bizarre users in my Users preference pane are created by Fink. But does anyone know why Fink does this? I've only installed Gimp and XFree86 via Fink, and suddenly these users showed up in my U

At the moment, gnumeric is available as a package in fink's "unstable" tree. (It made a brief appearance in the stable tree yesterday, but was withdrawn because some of the things it depends on are not yet in the stable tree.) To use it, you will need to copy the .info and .patch files for gnum

[Fink-users] Lesstif installation?

2002-02-05 Thread Randall Meadows
I've been struggling with getting ddd installed, and finally turned to fink to help me. ddd depends on a Motif-compatible library, like Lesstif, so I installed it first, then installed ddd. Fink doesn't complain about either of the installations. However, when I try to execute ddd, I get: W

If you use the new XFree86 v 4.2, together with new versions of the lesstif and ddd packages available in the post-0.3.2a unstable tree of fink, everything should work fine. (You get post-0.3.2a files by running "fink self-update" and selecting the CVS option.) If these work for you, please in

[Fink-users] cvs update

2002-02-05 Thread Koen van der Drift
Hi, The last few days I cannot do an update with cvs. If I do a fink selfupdate, I see the line cvs z3 (...) and nothing seems to happens. Usually I could see all the files scroll over the screen. Is there a problem with the cvs server? How do I return to a normal update? thanks, - Koen. _

You should have the fftw package installed. If not, install it. If so, reinstall it ('fink reinstall')--this reinstalls all the files without recompiling, and if that doesn't work, try rebuilding it ('fink rebuild'). On 2/5/02 1:01 PM, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Fr

Hi, Before I complain, thank you all for working on fink and porting packages. My question is this: why does gnuplot depend on tetex? The simple answer, apparently, is "so that fink can build and install the documentation, which comes as LaTeX source." I have a transient (i.e., dialup) 56K co
