Next discovery to be made: Fink has jed, too :-) Put unstable in your Trees line of /sw/etc/fink.conf and say "fink install jed". Just for the sake of education, some more remarks on your experience: > I then went to the jed tarball directory, and typed ./configure, and > that went fine. If you want to use fink installed libraries, you need to tell configure where they are. Usually, you would have to use at least the "--prefix=/sw" option to configure. But this depends on each package. If you look at the fink jed package description, you see that it is somewhat more complicated there. In addition, you need to set some paths for the compiler where to look for libraries. Sometimes you can do this by environment variables like setenv CFLAGS "-I/sw/include" setenv LDFLAGS "-L/sw/lib" But once again, this depends on the package. > Then make clean, as the last lines of configure recommended, and then > make. > This is the error: > > cd src; make jed > gcc -g -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dunix -DJED > -I/usr/local/include /Users/durandal/Prog/pipes/jed- Here you see that it is looking in /usr/local/include and not in /sw/include which is probably not what you want, because your slang.h is probably now in /sw/include > B0.99-15/src/chkslang.c -o /Users/durandal/Prog/pipes/jed- > B0.99-15/src/objs/chkslang -L/usr/local/lib -lslang -ltermcap -lm Again the /usr/local/lib which won't let it find libslang.dylib. The corresponding line from a run of "fink install jed" looks like this: cc -I/sw/include -fno-strength-reduce -I/sw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Dunix -DJED -I/sw/include -L/sw/lib /sw/src/jed-0.99-1/jed-B0.99-15/src/chkslang.c -o /sw/src/jed-0.99-1/jed-B0.99-15/src/objs/chkslang -L/sw/lib -L/sw/lib -lslang -lm > /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -ltermcap > make[1]: *** [/Users/durandal/Prog/pipes/jed-B0.99-15/src/objs/chkslang] > Error 1 > make: *** [jed] Error 2 >From the above you also see that the "-ltermcap" simply isn't there, because libtermcap does not exist on MacOSX, and it is not needed. -- Martin _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
