[Fink-users] update-all failing, please help

I haven't used Fink in a bit and am trying to get things working again so I can update some packages I use. When I run update-all through fink commander, I get the following response: The following 9 packages will be installed or updated: ghostscript ghostscript-fonts imagemagick-nox lcms-shlibs

[Fink-users] Not sure what's wrong here...

I haven't been able to install anything using Fink in a long time. I don't know what's wrong. For example, if I try to do a binary update of curl (even though my binary is up to date) I get the following sequence: Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... Sorry, curl is already the

add a menu item that fixes the prebindings using the command below? And it would be really cool if FinkCommander could see the error message and suggest running the command as well - or perhaps Fink could detect this and fix itself? On Jan 11, 2004, at 5:23 PM, Martin Costabel wrote: Philip

[Fink-users] problems compiling anything

I seem to have messed up something along the way and now I can't seem to install anything. It appears to be a problem with dpkg, but I don't know enough about how it works to fix it. If someone could help me I would be appreciative. An example: dpkg-deb -b root-base-files-1.9.0-1

[Fink-users] How do I switch to the unstable tree?

How do I switch to the unstable builds? I need a more recent version of imagemagick. Oddly, the version in the stable tree is very out-of-date. Philip --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for

Oops. That's what happens when you're not paying attention. So I ran this command: philip# /sw/fink/10.2/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/m4_1.4-6_darwin- powerpc.deb | awk '{if ($6 == ./) { print /.; } else if (substr($6, length($6), 1) == /) {print substr($6, 2, length($6) - 2); }

The convert you refer to is part of imagemagick (convert, mogrify, animate, conjure, display, identify, import and montage). You will find that imagemagick is included in the fink packages. For more information on imagemagick, see their website at http://www.imagemagick.org/. Philip Trauring

[Fink-users] Roughly when will Fink 0.5 be released?

I don't usually ask this type of question, but since the Fink web site said October was the target release date and I haven't noticed any reference to the progress of the .5 release in the list, I figured I'd ask. When is Fink 0.5 expected to be released now? I've held up upgrading Fink since

[Fink-users] Support for gimp-print?

I did a search on the web site for gimp-print but did not see it as a supported package. Now that MacOS X 10.2 supports CUPS, it seems like gimp-print would be a great package to support. Gimp-print includes CUPS drivers for many inkjet printers that are not currently supported for OS X by
