That's where the Fink info file comes in and does its job. Have a look at it, it contains for example UpdateLibtool: true UpdateConfigGuess: true which is meant to educate the otherwise Mac OS X ignorant scilab sources about the existence of Darwin. > Does somebody know what's wrong with the download from INRIA? > > Alternatively, how could I generate Scilab from the sources that I have?

If what you got is the exact same file that fink tried to download, then just drop it into /sw/src/ and fink will find it there. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-beginners
