1) make sure that your local build tree exists by running:
sudo mkdir -p /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo
('dists' is a symbolic link to the folder for your distribution version, e.g. '10.3' for Panther)
2) make sure that 'local/main' is on the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf, e.g.:
$ cat /sw/etc/fink.conf
# Fink configuration, initially created by bootstrap.pl
Mirror-gnome: ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/
Mirror-ctan: ftp://ftp.cise.ufl.edu/pub/mirrors/tex-archive/
Mirror-master: http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/
RootMethod: sudo
MirrorOrder: MasterFirst
Trees: local/main stable/main stable/crypto local/bootstrap unstable/main unstable/crypto
...
If 'local/main' is not there, then edit /sw/etc/fink.conf, e.g. with "sudo pico /sw/etc/fink.conf" and add it.
3) Copy the files needed, e.g.
sudo cp /sw/fink/10.3/unstable/main/finkinfo/editors/abiword.* /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/
(assumes you're on Panther and want abiword-2.0.6)
4) Edit the local .info file:
sudo pico -w /sw/fink/10.3/local/main/finkinfo/abiword.info
Go to the line that starts with BuildDepends: and remove 'applesystemfonts' (it will probably not be visible on that line initially, but will be off the right edge of the terminal window. Just use the cursor and move right until you get to it):
Also, go to the Revision: line and add 1 to the number that's there.
5) Run "fink index" and then check that the correct revision of abiword is there via "fink list abiword"
6) "fink install abiword" like usual.
Because applesystemfonts is nominally a build-depend, the build will crash if indeed abiword really requires it.

can you be more specific. to install i usually type fink install abiword in the terminal or use fink commander, both of which then ask to install dependencies.

Is there a way to use fink to install abiword minus the apple system fonts dependency? Every time I have installed this dependency it has hosed something on my working build so I would rather not include it.
You'd have to modify the .info file not to have applesystemfonts listed in it.
