Does anybody these two packages. Is instalation of unstable > packages recomended? Yes, but be careful--in the simplest mode fink tries to install the latest version of a package, and so an unstable version will take precedence over a stable one. This can be overridden by specifying a version number, as long as an appropriate .info file exists. Having said that, you'll need to edit /sw/etc/fink.conf . There's a line that starts with 'Trees:'; change 'stable' to 'unstable' (both places). Unstable packages can be of lower reliability than stable ones, but not infrequently they work fine, and are just in unstable because the maintainer hasn't received enough positive feedback to justify moving them to stable. > > Thanx for your answer. > > hs -- Alexander K.
