Re: [Fink-beginners] Question: packages want contradictory ghostscript versions

Hi Alexander,

I tried using both of the non-nox versions, but I hit an error: 

953 ~ fink install pdftex
 Information about 4745 packages read in 0 seconds.

 The requested package pdftex is a virtual package, provided by several 
packages

 (1) ptex-base-3.1.10-1004
 (2) ptex-nox-base-3.1.10-1004
 (3) tetex-base-3.0-1006
 (4) tetex-nox-base-3.0-1006

 Default answer will be chosen in 20 seconds... 
 Please select which package to install: [4] 1
 The following package will be installed or updated:
  ptex-base 
 The following 2 additional packages will be installed:
  t1lib5-x11 t1lib5-x11-shlibs 
 Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

(seems good...)

This error looks like it could be due to t11lib5 not being compatible
with the use of multiple build threads.

Use fink configure and set the number of processors to 1.

If that works, let us know so that the package can be updated
appropriately.

If your number of build threads is already 1, then post back and we'll
try something else.

Re: [Fink-beginners] Question: packages want contradictory ghostscript versions

2011-10-18 Thread Michael McFarlane
Sorry for the additional emails, but here is some more info. 

The fact that pdftex is in/opt/local/bin/pdftex bothers me. Here is what i did:
I installed texlive with macports. 
then installed pdftex with fink. 
then performed the which commands shown in the previous emails.
then i realized this is ambiguous, so i uninstalled texlive with macports. 
then reinstall pdftex with fink, fink says it is already there, which should 
prove that the pdftex I install was due to fink not macports
the result of the which commands is the same.

but fink never installed to /opt/... only macports did

 Hi Alexander,
 
 This did the trick!
 
 1010 ~ which pdftex

 /sw/bin//convert
 
 Thanks,

 Before reporting any errors, please run fink selfupdate and try 
 again. If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the 
 FAQ on Fink's website solves the problem.  If not, ask on one of 
 these mailing lists:
 
 The Fink Users List fink-us...@lists.sourceforge.net The Fink 
 Beginners List fink-beginners@lists.sourceforge.net,
 
 with a carbon copy to the maintainer:
 
 Dave Morrison d...@finkproject.org
 
 Note that this is preferable to emailing just the maintainer 
 directly, since most fink package maintainers do not have access
 to all possible hardware and software configurations.
 
 Please try to include the complete error message in your report. 
 This generally consists of a compiler line starting with e.g.
 gcc or g++ followed by the actual error output from the
 compiler.
 
 Also include the following system information: Package manager

 (I did try selfupdate. Also, I did find the interface to search
 the list, but I did not find what I was looking for. How do I get 
 libt1x.la into action?)
 
 Thanks! Mike

[Fink-beginners] To bootstrap on Lion, which JDK (if any)?

2011-10-18 Thread Rodriguez-Mueller, Jennifer
My question is simple in some ways but may(?) catch a lot of other fink newbies 
who run into the same confusions.  This email documents the problem I ran into, 
where I researched to find an answer, and concludes with a request for 
information.

It is probably relevant that I'm (1) relatively new to Mac, (2) in the first 
few days of setting up a MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2, and (3) am not deeply 
read into the current state of Java other than knowing it's current corporate 
patron is Oracle which makes me fear for the liberality of its future...

Given that background, I tried installing fink:
 
 mymachine: fink-0.31.3  sudo ./bootstrap
 Password: 
 Please install Java SDK before re-attempting fink bootstrap
 

So I thought that would be no problem to fix.  Google, download, install, and 
move on, right?  But the more I looked the more it seemed that there isn't a 
simple and obviously correct thing to do :-(

When I google JDK Mac I get:

Stack overflow complaints that don't have clean answers.

A grossly obsolete FAQ from Apple that doesn't even contain the text Lion:
http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/

And an ironically amusing forum complaint:
http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com/cafe/6088-i-cant-find-java-jdk-standard-edition-mac-os-x.html

The best I can find that might solve the problem is what seems like a 
(currently unfinished) attempt to port OpenJDK to Max OSX.  I don't want to 
install an unfinished programming language to run something as fundamental to 
my computer's infrastructure as a package manager.  Maybe I should stop being 
so finicky and just see what happens?  But I'd like to keep the system 
administration on my laptop clean and tidy, not play around with bleeding edge 
infrastructure.
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/macosx-port/

I've searched for anyone else having Java problems on the fink mailing lists 
and found JDK mentioned in only two places:

This is a link to a 2006 article on OpenJDK politics
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.foss.nepal/4963

This is a post and then 40 minutes later a re-post documenting a work around 
for getting a particular version of JBoss to work with a particular JDK version.
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jboss.user/311040
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jboss.user/311042

…

Once I reached this point in my research I decided that I should probably just 
summarize the state of my knowledge and ask for wisdom in some place that was 
google searchable so that other people in the same situation can find this 
email in the future and then click next in thread to find the answer :-)

Does there currently exists a way to use a production ready fink with 
production ready tools starting from a machine running Lion that came without a 
JDK?  If my goal is simplicity and stability, should I give up on Java (and 
hence fink) for now?  Or maybe... is the mac port of OpenJDK more 
production-ready than its front page looks?

Wisdom (and links to download sites with good instructions) would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

Jennifer

It looks like the our bootstrap error message text needs some
clarification.

Apple decided for Lion to make the their Java SDK downloadable on
demand, provided, of course, that one has a network connection active.
 I believe that running e.g. just javac in a terminal window will
trigger a download.
