Hello everyone! I have read through numerous posts, yet couldn't find a solution to this well-known issue in my case. So decided to write a new post.
I use Mac OS X 10.6.8. My problem: when trying to install Octave, got the message: "Can't resolve dependency "system-java-dev (>= 1.5-1)" for package "libidn-1.22-6" (no matching packages/versions found)". Following Finkproject's FAQ 6.17, I have installed Java Developer Package from the Apple website, ran "fink selfupdate-rsync". Still no effect. FYI, this is the output of "fink list -it system-java": Information about 12287 packages read in 1 seconds. i system-java 1.6.0-1 [virtual package representing Java 1.6.0] i system-java16 1.6.0-1 [virtual package representing Java 1.6.0] i system-java3d 0-1 [virtual package representing Java3D] i system-javaai 0-1 [virtual package representing Java Advanced Imaging] And "/usr/libexec/java_home -t CommandLine -V" yields: Matching Java Virtual Machines (2): 1.6.0_65-b14-462, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ 1.6.0_65-b14-462.jdk/Contents/Home 1.6.0_65-b14-462, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ 1.6.0_65-b14-462.jdk/Contents/Home /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_65-b14-462.jdk/Contents/Home Finally, this is the output of "fink-virtual-pkgs --debug 2>&1 | grep "checking Java" -A 11" - checking Java versions: - 1.6.0... 1.6.0_65-b14-462.jdk/Contents/Home/bin /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_65-b14-462.jdk/Contents/Home/1.6.0/ Headers/jni.h missing - searching for java3d... found /System/Library/Java/Extensions/j3dcore.jar - searching for javaai... found /System/Library/Java/Extensions/jai_core.jar - checking for Xcode version... 3.2.6 - checking for Xcode CLI tools version... 3.2.6 - determining path to system SDKs... /Developer/SDKs/ - checking for MacOSX10.4u.sdk... not found - checking for MacOSX10.5.sdk... found - checking for MacOSX10.6.sdk... found - checking for cctools version... 795-1 - checking for cctools -single_module support... yes, 795 has it I have noticed that the Java Virtual Machines has been installed in /Library not /System/Library. Perhaps that is the cause? I will indeed appreciate any ideas! Many thanks for your time!
