Re: [Fink-users] doxygen failure install kivio (koffice) packages

Hi Martin. I eventually realized that doxygen had its own internal libpng, and I asked one of the folks who is having trouble to generate a session log of fink trying to build doxygen on his system and send it to me... Unfortunately, it is identical to my own session log until the failure occurs.

There was a problem with fink's libpng3 package which might be the source of the problem, here. The problem was fixed in libpng3-1.2.5-3 around 10 days ago. It seems that doxygen is missing a dependency on libpng3? It should almost certainly be a versioned dependency, to make sure that the

Hi Dan. pdftex is now actually included in tetex, so you don't need to install the (obsolete) pdftex package. Also, ghostscript6 was something needed with OS X 10.1 and teTeX; we need to update the description so that people realize it's no longer necessary to install that one. Thanks for the
