Dear all,
I just received my new Panther/G5, and I'm trying to get all my codes run on that.
Most of them need Fink packages, so I installed Fink 0.6.2.
So far, so good - but I have not done much so...
2 points:
1) I'm using FinkCommander.
In the main Fink web page, I read:
This release, like the previous one, was built on OS X 10.2 using the gcc 3.3 compiler, and runs fine with some exceptions* on OS X 10.3. Most Fink users who upgrade to 10.3 will continue to want to only use the binaries from this new distribution for now, while the Fink team continues to modify Fink packages for 10.3.
But with FinkCommander, I see no binary package to install (it's true whether I select stable or unstable packages), so I install them from source. We'll see if that works...
2) I mailed to the maintainer of the package (Matt Stephenson), got no answer, and clhep is still absent from the Fink distribution now.
I received a CC-ed mail from Remi Mommsen (thanks Remi) to Matt Stephenson, where Remi said:
I was just wondering why clhep does not exists in 10.2-gcc3.3 and 10.3. I copied the info file from the 10.2 tree to the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree and it compiles flawlessly. I haven't tried it yet with 10.3. Any known issues why it shouldn't work?As you may understand from my questions, I'm no expert in programming, but I was wondering if there is a chance to see clhep again as a Fink package: I don't really see how I could install it on my Mac. I went to the clhep web page, and OsX isn't cited as a possible platform... May be Matt is too busy to maintain this package. I wish I could, since I definitively need it...
Best regards,
Manuel
