As the error message indicates, at some time you must have had on your system /usr/local/lib/libpng12.dylib, and it is no longer present.
Fink prevents you from removing fink-installed libraries which you still need, but when you put things into /usr/local/lib, they override the fink things (and there is nothing fink can do about that). This leads to messes like the one you are in. You didn't show enough of the error message for me to determine exactly which fink package of yours is accidentally linked to the no- longer-present /usr/local/lib package. It sounds, however, as if it is hiding it a .la file, so one way to assess your situation is to run "grep /usr/local/lib /sw/lib/*.la" to find out what bad references would be hiding in .la files. "dpkg -S /sw/lib/foo.la" will then tell you which fink package contains that .la file, and you should rebuild all such fink packages, after having removed all offending things from /usr/local. -- Dave On Apr 26, 2007, at 12:49 PM, Raul Hennings-Yeomans wrote: > Dear Dave > I am trying to install gnuplot and povray in my powerbook G4 but > run into an error. > > I gave the command: > fink install gnuplot povray > > and the error is: > powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: /usr/local/lib/libpng12.dylib: No > such file or directory > make[2]: *** [libgd.la] Error 1 > make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 > make: *** [all] Error 2 > ### execution of make failed, exit code 2 > Removing runtime build-lock... > Removing build-lock package... > /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-gd2-2.0.33-3 > (Reading database ... 33776 files and directories currently > installed.) > Removing fink-buildlock-gd2-2.0.33-3 ... > Failed: phase compiling: gd2-2.0.33-3 failed > > thanks in advanced > -Raul ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
