[Fink-beginners] Upgrade to 10.4 problem

[Jerel Zarestky]

Title: Upgrade to 10.4 problem

I recently upgraded to 10.4 / 10.4.3 without considering Fink installations.

I now find that I cannot compile using g77;

g77: installation problem, cannot exec `c++filt': No such file or directory

and with FinkCommander, that my GNU Fortran compiler is out of date;

flagged    status        name    installed    latest        category        summary   
NO             outdated        g77    3.4.1-1    3.4.3-2    languages    GNU Fortran compiler

My Fink version is;
% fink --version
Package manager version: 0.24.10
Distribution version: 0.7.2.rsync

trying to update g77 with FinkCommander generates;
.......
xgcc: installation problem, cannot exec `c++filt': No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [genmodes] Error 1
make[1]: *** [stageprofile_build] Error 2
make: *** [profiledbootstrap] Error 2

Removing fink-buildlock-g77-3.4.3-2 ...
Failed: phase compiling: g77-3.4.3-2 failed


I checked the fink.sourceforge notes on upgrading and find I violated the instructions by going to 10.4.3 before updating Fink / removing old Developer Tools / ....several more steps.

What options do I have to get back a functioning Fink system?  I assume there’s more to it than just installing Fink 0.8.0.

Thanks,

Jerel
