Hi everybody,

I just discovered something related to my Gnome-Problem:

I installed Gnome, while the "unstable" tree was activated in my fink.conf
file. I thought that this would not make a difference, because on the fink
website the package "bundle-gnome" is listed as the same version number in
stable and unstable. So I thought I would get the same thing, whether
unstable was included in the "fink.conf"-File or not.

*BUT*: The packages that "bundle-gnome" installs, *DO* have different
version numbers in stable/unstable. I checked my installation and found out
that I really have the versions from *unstable* installed!!!

This means especially "gdk-pixbuf" and "gdk-pixbuf-shli" Version 0.16.x
(unstable) instead of 0.11.x (stable)... Could it be that the missing file
"libpixbuf-png.so" is located in one of those packages (it's just the
similar sounding names...)? Gnome depends on those packages, so fink won't
let me remove them... Do I have to uninstall everything now and install
again from stable? Is anyone out there successfully using Gnome from
unstable?

Especially to Chris Devers: I know from the listing you placed online
(*thank you!*), that you're using the unstable tree, too. Did you activate
the unstable tree when installing gnome?

Cheers, hope we're getting closer to a solution,

Andreas
