[Fink-users] Problems with unstable

2004-07-09 Thread Rich Warren
I've gotten tired of waiting for applications to move from Unstable to Stable, so I've tried to switch my system to unstable. I've worked out most of the kinks, but I'm still having trouble with gnome-vfs-ssl. Here's the error I'm getting. I tried removing and reinstalling openjade, since that

Part of it depends if it is a true PDF with the source text imbedded in it somewhere or if it is a PDF of the scanned image. Try opening it up with a text editor/viewer and look to see if you can find some of the body text. If you cannot, then it is a PDF-ified image and OCR is your only hope.

[Fink-users] PDF to Text Program

2004-07-09 Thread Lynn Chadbourne
A friend gave me a CD of several files to convert to text. Unfortunately, they are scanned image files, each with many pages. I've tried a number of Mac and windoze programs but still end up with a graphic of the text. Is there a "reasonably" easy way to get these graphics into text? (I don

Why do you expect problems? Is it the Gnu-compiler buggy (behaving wrongly when using the -fast option)? What kind of package depends so deeply on machine level instruction set to raise problems? Well, our experience is to use '-fast' in extreme cases. It enables options that even Apple says they

O.k., rain interrupted the yard sale, so here I am trying to play games. Would anyone have a suggestion as to how to get AisleRiot working again? The message displayed is: "AisleRiot could not load its deck images. AisleRiot will now exit." All updates successful, Xfree86, Gnome 2.6. Thanks- Sta

2004-07-09 Thread Marco Comini
There are a number of optimizations that cause apple's modified gcc to create bad code; -Os is safest, most tested, and generally fastest within a small margin (and is, in fact, what Apple compiles their stuff with for the OS, at least for Panther). -O2 has bitten a number of large projects in

What's the point in working the actual way? Is it technical or "political"? Politicial (sort of). And also technical. Before we release a package, we want to test it to guarantee that it works. What good is a distribution of non-working software? Ok, but obviously the (probably not so) smart

Not finding explicit mention of the fact on the list's archives, just wanted a confirmation that the new release of Xcode, 1.2, is compatible and won't break things in Fink 0.7.0, running on fully-patched Panther 10.3.4 on a PB G4 15"/FW800 ? If this is so, would I get any performance or other
