Dear Alex and fink folks, Many thanks for the mail. Your were right about libraries in /usr/local/ being a problem. I tried moving /usr/local/ to usr/local_tmp/, which didn't work, and then tried just moving /usr/local/lib to a tmp location, but fink still could build pango-xft1 On my system, the solution was to (temporarily) move everything out of /usr/local/lib/ except for the libiconv stuff. With that stripped-down /usr/local/lib in place, pango-xft1 finally builds fine in fink, allowing all the gnome stuff that depends on it to be installable. Is there any way for fink to know about these lib conflicts and work around them automatically? Moving libraries around seems like an awful hack.
