Okay, I'm back to the original problem of not being able to install tetex. I the command line I type,
fink install tetex and here is the end of the long string I get: Setting up gd2 (2.0.33-2) ... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin- powerpc/text/tetex-texmf_3.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb dpkg: regarding .../tetex-texmf_3.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb containing tetex-texmf: ptex-texmf conflicts with carlisle tetex-texmf provides carlisle and is to be installed. /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary- darwin-powerpc/text/tetex-texmf_3.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): conflicting packages - not installing tetex-texmf Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/text/tetex- texmf_3.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package tetex-texmf-3.0-1 Earlier, when trying to fix it I typed: fink remove carlisle but ended up right back here. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris The below is what happened when I jumped through the hoop of trying to install Ghostscript by iteself: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You made me wonder too, so I tried again and here is what I get: (like I said, I'm only trying to get ghostscript seperately like this because of the complaint I got about ghostscript when I tried to install tetex.) I just noticed that I picked 8.13, so I did it again and said to install plain ghostscript and then picked item 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Documents/fink/fink-0.8.1-full >fink install ghostscript6 Password: Information about 1989 packages read in 2 seconds. fink needs help picking an alternative to satisfy a virtual dependency.
