Yes.
If so, I guess I need to add the unstable lines to my Tree: declaration in /sw/etc/fink.conf. Is this right?:
Or, if you don't want to use anything other than TeX and dependencies, you can just add the relevant .info and .patch files to your local tree as per:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable
Trees: local/main unstable/main unstable/crypto stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap
Having done that I guess I should do a fink selfupdate-cvs and a fink update-all (although I haven't actually installed any packages), and then fink install tetex-texmf, etc. Correct?
If you already have TeX installed, the update-all should take care of
that. In this case, you may need to remove some obsolete packages whose
functionality has been subsumed into the main tetex packages.
Thanks for the quick replies Alexander and Martin. I've now run into another problem that I see has come up on the lists before with TeX. I added unstable to fink.conf, ran fink selfupdate-cvs and and fink update-all and then fink install tetex-texmf to check everything was working.
I then tried fink install bundle bundle-tetex and get the following error:
The following package will be installed or updated:

The following 29 additional packages will be installed:

When this came up before <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ msg06012.html>, the conclusion seemed to be that his installation had somehow got confused. I don't see how that can be the case here because the commands listed above are the *only* fink commands I've ran since I ran the binary installer. Any suggestions?
And I've got another problem that appeared after I ran selfupdate-cvs after changing fink.conf to unstable. My Spider sense tells me its a ncurses conflict, but I'm not sure how to solve it:
[sann9222:~] mike% clear
dyld: clear version mismatch for library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib (compatibility version of user: 6.0.0 greater than library's version: 5.0.0)
finkTrace/BPT trap
Again, any suggestions? -- Michael
