However I cannot access the tutorial as it requires gnucash2-docs. When I try to install, I get problems which seem to be well documented regarding compiling mozilla and running into a claimed error at line 84 of /usr/include/signal.h. This occurs while trying to compile dependencies for yelp. Same error if I choose firefox or seamonkey instead. Fiddling with signal.h I got as far as errors trying to strip. Disabled strip, then it got errors with unresolved symbols. Gave up. My question is, why should I need mozilla, or firefox, or seamonkey on the fink side? Is there a way to have yelp use Safari? Or use a normal Mac OS X installation of Firefox? In other words, is it really necessary for fink to include a browser at all? I tried to look at the yelp.info and yelp-viewer.info files but I get in overmy head at that point. I begin to have a vague idea how much the workfink maintainer/creators have put into all this. Much thanks for that, very impressive. Anyway, it clearly wants Gecko, so I suppose Safari is right out. But doesn't Firefox use Gecko? Any tips/comments appreciated. Tom aka Tommy LeeThere's a tentative firefox fix, but the problem is that the Leopard fix breaks firefox1.5 on my Tiger setup. I have fixed that new Tiger crash, but I don't have Leopard to make sure the 2nd fix didn't rebreak Leopard. If you want to test it out on Leopard download BOTH firefox1.5 files from here<http://cvs.snaggledworks.com/viewvc.cgi/fink/10.4/main/finkinfo/ net/>and place them in /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/, re-run 'fink index' and try to rebuild firefox1.5-shlibs (the version should be 1.5.0.12-1002). HanspeterIt builds. But it won't run from a standard terminal window (counting on Leopard's handoff to x11 via launchd). If I launch x11.app and launch firefox from an xterm window (after . / sw/bin/init.sh), it does work. Yelp still does funny things, either from xterm launch or normal terminal -- any attempt to get either gnome or gnucash docs results in a complaint: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below. and nothing else in the doc hierarchy can be displayed. Dave -- David Reiser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Everything X11 related needs to be run from the X11 shell. The OS X terminal won't run any X11 application.
No idea why, have not looked into it, but I deal with it.I found that out, when I tried to ssh into my debian box and run X11 apps. Terminal would abort, the X11 shell would run fine.
Not necessarily the answer you wanted, but what I found.
