Re: [Fink-users] gnomemeeting compilation problem

2005-03-24 Thread Carsten Bormann
Fink gnomemeeting is MIA. The current release of gnomemeeting is 1.2.1. Fink has 0.98.0-11, which doesn't compile (and hasn't been compiling for what seems like 2^25 seconds now, error message below). I'm just raising this again to see whether there are any gnome people out there. I know we are

We all knew this was going to happen: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2002-28.html Given the variety of sources we use for obtaining source files, this is just an accident waiting to happen over and over again in fink. Running the compiles as root seriously exacerbates the problem. Can

First of all, it's great to hear that Fink people have thought about the issue. I'm just not quite sure the level of protection that affords is already sufficient to make compilation as root a complete non-issue. Yep. If a fink package tells you its MD5 is bad, please notify the maintainer

This crash is from november, i don't think it is relevant. :) Looks like it is from the aqua version of emacs. I can do it with 10.1.5 (and the November devtools, if that matters). See below. It looks like the dumped version of emacs doesn't work right. (Of course, 21.2-6 runs fine here.)

It's possible that you are using the ssh client that comes with Mac OS X, which does not have X11 forwarding built into is I'm not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean, but /usr/bin/ssh definitely can forward X11 (OS X 10.1.5, I'm pretty sure at least since 10.1.3). (You may have to use
