Please be patient since I am new both to Macs in general and Fink
specifically. I ran into a problem when initially setting up Fink.
During the self update I got the following message:
"
Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
/sw/lib/perl5/Fink/Services.pm line 1236.
Under Mac OS X 10.4.7, Fink must be bootstrapped or updated with gcc 4.0,
however, you currently have gcc 4.2 selected. To correct
this problem, run the command:
sudo gcc_select
You may need to install a more recent version of the Developer Tools
(Apple's XCode) to be able to do so.
/sw/bin/dpkg: error processing fink (--install):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255
Errors were encountered while processing:
fink
### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package fink-0.24.25-31
"
The most recent version of Apple's Xcode comes with gcc 4.2 instead of
4.0. When doing "sudo gcc_ select 4.0" it says "Default compiler has
been set to:gcc version 4.2.0". I don't know if I need to somehow
bludgeon gcc into actually using version 4.0, or if fink can (or soon
will be) able to work with the gcc that Apple is giving out now. Any
help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Matt
