Subject: Re: [Fink-beginners] can't get packages to install on OS X
10.5
Hi,
That made a big difference; this time, the installation seemed to
almost complete (going all the way through the "% installing" and
then some), even installing the manpages. However, something then
happened near the end:

What went wrong this time?

Hi,
I'm having trouble getting Fink to work on OS X 10.5 on my Macbook,
which has a 2.4 GHz Intel dual-core processor. ( I am very much a
beginner at this, although I know I have correctly installed Apple's
X11 and Xtools 3.0 on my Macbook).
I installed fink-0.28.1, compiling from source, which seemed to
complete without any problems. However, when I try to install
packages (after the required self update), Fink invariably fails.
(I
have both stable and unstable enabled in fink.conf.)
For example, I tried installing all of KDE with the command:
fink install bundle-kde-ssl
When I did this, the installation seemed to proceed correctly for a
while, but then it failed. I found the following warnings and
errors
near the end of the process:
libtool: link: warning: `/sw/lib//libintl.la' seems to be moved

What did I do wrong in trying to install KDE?
I hope I've provided the right information to diagnose this problem,
but please let me know if any additional information is needed and I
will try to obtain it.
Best regards,
John W.
Nothing. There's a problem with Apple's X11 right now.
The quick fix is to run
sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's|2.0.0|2.1.0|' /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.la
(All right, all right, I'll try to get this in the FAQ)
