This came up earlier, and here's Bill's reply.
Note that enabling unstable requires you to build the missing packages
from source. This also means you should have Developer Tools installed.

Reply-To: William Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
OK, just to clarify:
1. To get the gtk+2 coot, you need to have "unstable" activated.
To do this,
Make sure you have a line like this in /sw/etc/fink.conf:
Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto unstable/main unstable/
crypto
AND if you are using my precompiled debians for 10.5, you need to do
this for intel:
Add this to the bottom of the /sw/etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.5_only stable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.5_only unstable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_intel_10.5_only local main
OR for 10.5 ppc, you need to do this:
Add this to the bottom of the /sw/etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_ppc stable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_ppc unstable main crypto
deb http://sage.ucsc.edu/fink_ppc local main
2. Install the latest X11.app from here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki
Then you should be able to update everything with the pre-compiled
debian repositories. Some people have however reported problems, in
which case it might be helpful to reinstall a package or try
compiling it locally on your computer. But all this assumes
"unstable" is activated.
The term "unstable" really should be translated as "more current"
rather than "unreliable."
HTH,

I'm trying to tackle this problem now.
It seems those packages are (and their dependencies) are in the
unstable branch of fink (looks to Bill Scott :)).
The short solution is to build them yourself, but that would mean
switching to the unstable branch, installing X11 Dev Tools...
yechh...
I could have the deb's for ppc available soon via email.

Hi all,
I am trying to install coot on my macbook (Intel, OSX 10.5.4) from
bill
scott's binaries on sage. I was able to successfully install ccp4
but coot
is giving me trouble. I get the following error,
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely
that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
coot: Depends: librsvg2-shlibs (>= 2.20.0-1) but 2.9.5-11 is to be
installed
Depends: librsvg2-gtk (>= 2.20.0-1) but 2.9.5-11 is to be
installed
E: Sorry, broken packages
I also tried to update librsvg2-shlibs and librsvg2-gtk to
2.20.0-1 using
fink but fink says no such packages exists.
Can someone steer me in the correct direction!
