[Fink-beginners] Clean Install Fink

2003-06-18 Thread Brian Knoblock
HI all

I have messed up my fink installation so bad I think it will just be easier
to reinstall and start over, so my question is what files and where do I
need to get rid of to start from scratch?
I assume
   sw   etc/X11 /Library/Receipts/Fink 0.5.2 Installer.pkg

Are there any prefs, other than fink commanders that I need to toss?
Invisible files etc?

Thanks

Brian Knoblock

[Fink-beginners] GRASS Install Problems

2003-06-18 Thread Frank Schima
Hi,


I am trying to install GRASS and not getting anywhere. I am using the unstable tree so 
i 
can even try to install it (sigh). The problem occurs at the beginning. It get these 
errors:

WARNING: While resolving dependency postgresql73 (= 7.3.2-7) for package grass-
5.0.2-3, package postgresql73 was not found.
WARNING: While resolving dependency postgresql73-ssl (= 7.3.2-7) for package 
grass-5.0.2-3, package postgresql73-ssl was not found.
Failed: Can't resolve dependency postgresql73 (= 7.3.2-7) | postgresql73-ssl (= 
7.3.2-7) for package grass-5.0.2-3 (no matching packages/versions found)

Searching the archives led me to try installing postgresql first. But that doesn't 
help. It 
seems to want postgresql73 but I don't see how to install that - it is not listed in 
Fink 
Commander. I tried installing that from the command line, but that package was not 
found. BTW, postgresql installs version 7.3.3-3. 

Any ideas on how I can install GRASS?


-Frank

[Fink-beginners] xDarwin

2003-06-18 Thread Greg
Okay, I've slowd down. I've studied.  I've read. And, most importantly, 
I've decompressed.  I think I'm ready to seek guidance once again, at a 
time when my knowledge is not so impaired:

Based on the helpful links that were referred to me, I've tried 
installing xDarwin via the gnumac and xonx installers and via fink and 
followed instructions to by adding strings of text to certain files. 
I've tried launching in by double-clicking on the X, and from the 
command line, and in one shape or an other, the response has been the 
same. It seems that no matter what, X is not being mapped correctly and 
is not access necessary dependancies.  Last night, I couldn't even 
remove it via fink.

Below is the litany of output that I've compiled from console, the 
terminal, and text edit. somewhere in there, I sense, is a pattern that 
will pull it all together:

This most likely means that you still have an X-related process still
running, but not doing anything.  You can either try to track the
process down and kill it using either the command line e.g. (ps aux)
or the Process Viewer utility under /Applications/Utilities; or you
could just log out and log back in again--this should hopefully clear it
out

The problem is that postgreql73 and postgresql73-ssl (but not their
splitoffs) no longer exist, and the .info file needs to be modified
(maintainer cced).

Try once more (via double-clicking the icon) and send the error output from the

That probably means that in your attempts to install and uninstall,
you've removed the file, or your PATH isn't set up.

1)  Do you have /usr/X11R6/bin/startx on your system?

2a)  If not, what method did you last use to install XFree86?

2b)  If you do have startx, what do you get from running printenv
PATH?

BTW, I've also removed everything (via command line) and started 
over (Three times now).
Can you show us the exact series of commands you used for this?

I'm coming in on the middle of this and someone may have already given
you this advice but I would highly recommend you read Phil Lavigna's
Fun With Fink Document. The copy I have is dated February. It's
excellent. You should be able to find it with Google.
Given all your trouble, you may want to remove Fink and X and start
over. Open your Terminal.app and use:
sudo rm -rf /sw
Return
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6 /etc/X11
Return
sudo rm -rf /Applications/XDarwin.app
Return
then:
rm .xinitrc .cshrc
Return
The rm = remove and the -r and -f means recursive and forced.

Once you have this accomplished you can start a brand new Fink
installation from scratch. So you know, the first command gets rid of
fink, the 2nd and third commands get rid of your X server, and the final
command gets rid of your configuration files for X and TCSH respectively.
If you then start your new installation following Fun With Fink you
should have no problems. It's excellent and quite detailed on getting
started.
Hope you find this helpful. I'm pretty new to this myself. I have
followed the directions above and it's worked for me.
Oh one last thing. Note the space between X11R6 and /etc. Need to ensure
that there's a space there otherwise you won't remove anything...you're
actually removing 2 different directories recursively.

2003-06-18 Thread Greg
I don't know if /usr/X11R6/bin/startx is on my system. ls -la of both 
home and root directories didn't have it.

Most recently I've tried install via the XonX installer. Before that, 
it was the GNU MAC installer.  Before that it was via Fink. And before 
that--the last time it worked--it was the GNU MAC installer again.

 That probably means that in your attempts to install and uninstall,
 you've removed the file, or your PATH isn't set up.
 
 1)  Do you have /usr/X11R6/bin/startx on your system?
 
 2a)  If not, what method did you last use to install XFree86?
 
 2b)  If you do have startx, what do you get from running printenv
 PATH?

I'll wait to hear what the others say about the below suggestion 
(although I'm pretty sure they'll agree.)

However, I looked though the Fink site and was not able to find Fun 
With Fink.  Do you have a link?

You should be able to find it with Google.
I just went to Google, and in less time than it probably took for you
