Hello all,
I am new to fink, and having some issues. I don't know if there's a
mailing list archive anywhere, but please refer me to it, as I'm sure
I'm not the first person to have asked these questions.
My goal was to install GnuCash via fink, which I have done
successfully, at the cost of Apple's X11 and therefore OpenOffice.
Now, I've got myself setup so that an icon on my desktop runs startx,
and then my xinitrc looks like this:
leonhardt-server:~ root# cat /private/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# start some nice programs
twm &
exec gnucash
I've also installed NeoOffice, which looks like it will work fine in
lieu of OpenOffice. When I try to open OpenOffice, it hangs for a
while and then I get an error dialog stating "Command timed out" I'm
sure there's a better way to operate, but with NeoOffice, it's not a
primary concern.
My main goal now is to be able to use a window manager like KDE or
Gnome to wrap GnuCash in, because plain ol' XDarwin windowing sucks.
I read somewhere that I should be able to install "bundle-gnome", but
that doesn't seem to work:
leonhardt-server:~ root# apt-get install bundle-gnome
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package bundle-gnome
leonhardt-server:~ root# fink install bundle-gnome
Information about 2049 packages read in 1 seconds.
Failed: no package found for specification 'bundle-gnome'!
I've got some of the gnome packages installed, but I really don't
know what I need. A full list follows at the end of this message. I
guess what I'm looking for is what I need to install to be able to
open gnuCash in a Gnome or KDE window, and then what I need to do to
my xinitrc to tell X to do so.
TIA,
Matt
