Fink doesn't usually need those symlinks as long as the actual .deb files to which they pointed still exist; it actually looks in the deeply-nested dirs where the real files live before it looks in the symlink dir. > I hoped 'fink selfupdate' or 'fink update-all' would fix things but both > of those fail like this: > > libtool: link: cannot find the library `/sw/lib/libiconv.la' > make[1]: *** [install] Error 1 > make: *** [install] Error 2 > ### execution of make failed, exit code 2 > Failed: installing libiconv-1.9.1-11 failed This sounds like a simple (i.e., unrelated to missing .deb symlinks) problem. Seems very bad that a package that supplies a file would require that file to be already-existing. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
