Brian: Many packages in the official distribution don't yet work on jaguar. The fink developers have been working very hard to fix them all, but it takes time. The main difficult is that some of the fixes are not backward compatible - i.e. they won't work on 10.1. A new release will be available soon, but if you can't wait you can use CVS to get the packages descriptions that have been fixed for 10.2. Here are the instructions:
1) create a directory called "finkcvs" 2) cd to that directory 3) cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink login 4) cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/fink co dists 5) cd dists/10.2/unstable/main/finkinfo/languages; cp python-nox-2.2.1-8* /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/languages 6) you'll also need to copy the .info files for some python dependencies (db3 and readline at least) 7) enable the unstable tree if you haven't already (by adding unstable/main to the Trees line in /sw/etc/fink.conf) 8) fink update python-nox python-2.2.1-8 has been working fine for me on Jag. -Jeff On Wednesday, August 28, 2002, at 03:51 PM, Brian Landers wrote: > Hi there, > > You're listed as the maintainer for Fink's Python package, so > apologies in > advance if I'm writing the wrong person. > > It looks like Python is broken on 10.2 (Jaguar) in that the > _socket.dynlib > library does not successfully build.
