[Fink-beginners] digest reply
Hi everyone / Dan I'm on digest so appologies for any slow replies, but digest is best for me at work atm. Anyways, i was reading through and came across this message from Daniel. It's not about emacs or the differences between using xterm/apple's terminal. But i would like to ask people (that are experienced in 'unix' and fink) as to what they have inside their shell's dotfile and also their .profile file too. Can i have a look? :) Reading the below i'm wondering if i've not set up half of the env's that i should! shrug? ie, just what should 'Display' be set to in the shell's dotfile anyhow? I'm not at the Mac atm, but iirc, i think mine is set to something like 0:0 I use KDE with Apple's X11 and all is hunky dorey! The only problem i've currently got is trying to install 'vice' using fink. This never works for me, so i downloaded the source and compiled it myself..wow it worked! So now i look back and wonder if my 'profiles' are fine!? I'll post my dotfiles when i get home later, if anyones interested? I'd love to see what the pro's here are using though! :) cheers all, Steve /noob alert - Message: 4 To: fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net From: Daniel E. Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 18:13:02 + (UTC) Subject: [Fink-beginners] Re: installing emacs21 in Tiger Lars Marius Garshol [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: * Michael Wolf So not sure how to proceed from here. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Also, feel free to mail me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I got this to work myself (thanks to good help on this list), but found that using Emacs under X11 was kind of clunky (having to start X11 first, setting DISPLAY, You don't need to set DISPLAY if you set it automatically in your shell dotfiles or if you use xterm (or another X11-based terminal program) instead of Apple's Terminal.app. starting Emacs from command-line, meta key issues, etc). All x11 window managers that I've used have command-keys or menus or icon sets that can be customized to contain emacs. OTOH, if your goal is GUI emacs and have no other need for x11... I eventually installed the Carbon Emacs package instead: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/ carbonemacspackage.html is a good choice. dan DISCLAIMER: The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.

[Fink-beginners] upgrading to 0.8.0 for 10.4
I followed the instructions on http://fink.sourceforge.net/ for upgrading to 0.8.0 for 10.4 (fink selfupdate, fink selfupdate, fink selfupdate and fink selfupdate). A lot of messages flew past, and it said it couldn't do some things. How can I see if the update was successful or not? Is there a log file, or something I can run, to see if all is okay? Thanks.
