Hi, I've just begun to use Fink on my Mac G4 10.4.8, with X11; had success installing Kmines (stable) from source, but then failure installing Kolourpaint (unstable) from source. The following is the gist of the failure for Kolourpaint, excerpted from the install: ------------------------
Installing build-lock package... /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i /sw/src/fink.build/fink-buildlock- fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13_2006.11.10-19.42.29_darwin-powerpc.deb Selecting previously deselected package fink-buildlock-fontconfig2- dev-2.3.2-13. (Reading database ... 29726 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 (from .../fink- buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13_2006.11.10-19.42.29_darwin- powerpc.deb) ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of fink-buildlock- fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13: fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 depends on fontconfig1- shlibs; however: Package is not installed. fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 depends on x11-dev; however: Package x11-dev is not installed. /sw/bin/dpkg: error processing fink-buildlock-fontconfig2- dev-2.3.2-13 (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 ### execution of /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait failed, exit code 1 Can't set build lock for fontconfig2-dev (2.3.2-13) If any of the above dpkg error messages mention conflicting packages or missing dependencies -- for example, telling you that the package fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 conflicts with something else -- fink has probably gotten confused by trying to build many packages at once. Try building just this current package fontconfig2-dev (i.e, "fink build fontconfig2-dev"). When that has completed successfully, you could retry whatever you did that led to the present error. Regardless of the cause of the lock failure, don't worry: you have not wasted compiling time! Packages that had been completely built before this error occurred will not have to be recompiled. See http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:buildlocks for more information. /sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -r fink-buildlock-fontconfig2-dev-2.3.2-13 >/ dev/null Failed: buildlock failure ---------------------- So, even though the failure was apparently not due to conflicting packages or missing dependencies, I followed instructions and tried installing only fontconfig2-dev, and got basically a repeat of the entire error message. I would like to note that for Fink on my machine, both "fontconfig1-shlibs" and "x11-dev" are already on the list of packages that are "provided" ("virtual"), even though this error message says they're not installed. I checked the Fink Wiki for other causes of buildlock failure. One possibility is dead locks; however, I tried the command "fink list -t fink-buildlock" which showed that there were no dead locks. So what can I try next? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
