Hi:
I am unable to install gv and could not find any hint in the archives. I am not sure whether I should choose option 1, 2 or 3 to satisfy the virtual dependency on ghostscript and picked 3 (the other two options also fail). I get an error "Failed: can't install package system-ghostscript6-6.01-1", apparently due to font conflicts. I am appending the full output below.
Any suggestion on what I should do would be welcome. jp
-------- microbe3:~ gattuso$ fink install gv /usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink install gv Information about 1793 packages read in 1 seconds.
fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency. The candidates:
(1) ghostscript: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF
(2) ghostscript6: Interpreter for PostScript and PDF, v6.01
(3) system-ghostscript6: Placeholder package for manually installed
ghostscript 6.01
Pick one: [3]
Do you have a ghostscript6 package installed manually (e.g. in /usr/local)? If not, don't pick this choice.
The following package will be installed or updated:
gv
The following 5 additional packages will be installed:
system-ghostscript6 xaw3d xaw3d-shlibs xfree86 xfree86-shlibs
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]

The error is unsurprising: ghostscript-fonts conflicts because if you do have an externally installed ghostscript, it will have these fonts.
If you do have an external ghostscript, remove ghostscript-fonts. -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://www.psfc.mit.edu/LDX
