Hello.
I'm really working through a fog here, and would appreciate any advice...
I read about a geneology program called Gramps. I went to check it out, and I gather that it's a Unix program, and to run it on my Mac, I needed to get involved with Fink.
I downloaded Fink. It seemed to go well.
i updated the Fink Commander, and then went hunting for Gramps. I found it, but when I tried to download it, I received the message:
Fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) python23
(2) python23-nox
After I picked one, I got another message that I needed to pick an alternative. This time, the candidates:
(1) db42
(2) db42ssl
Regardless of my choices (I tried all the permutations), I ended with this message:
Failed: Can't resolve dependency "nautilus-shlibs" for package "gnome-python2-py23-2.0.0.11" (no matching packages/versions found)
I really have only a glimmer of an idea of what I'm going to start with, and no clue at all about these problems.
I'm co-dependency.
Can anyone shed any light?
Thank you, Larry Dietrich
You didn't specify whether you were installing from source or from binaries. If you're installing from binaries there's a little problem: nautilus-shlibs isn't available in the binary distribution--this is not your fault.
Because of this, gnome-python2-py23-2.0.0.11 shouldn't have been made available in binary, and therefore gramps also shouldn't have been made available.
You have two options:
1) Install nautilus-shlibs from the source distribution (it's actually in the unstable tree, to boot):
http://fink.sourceforge.net/faq/usage-fink.php#unstable
2) See if it's available in an unofficial binary distribution. Check out how to do this at http://fink.opendarwin.org/
