Hello,
I was attempting to install Bioperl on a Mac 0sX leopard machine,
and ran across the issue referenced here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg20777.html
Following the user's advice, I'm attempting to install bioperl-pm588
package via fink, But fink does not seem to see the package although
i have configured it to be able to see the "unstable tree", and run
the 'fink selfupdate-rsync' command, 'fink index' command and 'fink
scanpackages' command.
(you almost never need to run "fink index" these days, unless fink
specifically pops up a message telling you to do so)
Running 'fink info bioperl-pm588' produces:
canning package description files..........
Information about 2518 packages read in 0 seconds.
This suggests that your unstable tree is not, in fact, enabled.
Turning on unstable+stable should give you around 7000 packages.
Failed: no package found for specification 'bioperl-pm588'!
I tried downloading the XCode dev tools and running
'fink install bioperl-pm588' which led to:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package bioperl-pm588
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Garrett
What method did you use to enable the unstable tree?
If you used Fink Commander, that's been known not to save those
changes properly on occasion.
Check the Trees: line in /sw/etc/fink.conf
Enabling unstable via "fink configure" is probably the most reliable
way to activate unstable.-------------------------------------------------------------------------
