The problem is that the X11SDK.pkg from xcode-3.1.2 does no longer provide these *.la files which the libtool build system - and therefore Fink - relies on. Until Fink finds a strategy to deal with this situation, you have to use one of the following workarounds: 1. Either install one of the older X11SDK.pkg's from an earlier xcode version, 3.0 or 3.1.1. Then reinstall the X11SDK.pkg from xcode-3.1.2 on top of it. In this way, you will get to keep the *.la files from the older X11SDK.pkg. These have various bugs, depending on which xcode version they come from (this is the reason Apple nuked them - they didn't seem capable of fixing the bugs definitively, because the guys who prepare the X11User.pkg and the ones who prepare the X11SDK.pkg are not in sync.) 2. Or switch to the latest of the xquartz updates from the macosforge site. Until now, these still have the *.la files (they also come in a single package, the artificial split into X11User.pkg and X11SDK.pkg hasn't happened there.) They have threatened, though, that one of the next versions will come without *.la files, too. Currently, the workaround 2 is more bug-free, but you have to be aware of the fact that if you switch to the xquartz update, you will be pretty much unable to switch back to stock Leopard X11. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
