Not really. Unfortunately, Fink has not yet been able to muster the manpower necessary to bring its tex packages up to date. Apart from some people whining on the mailing lists and a couple of others showing noble intentions, no one has really done anything about it in the past two years. Your best bet IMHO would currently be to try some do-it-yourself hacking, namely modify the lilypond package so that it does not require those dependencies, and then cross your fingers and hope that it builds and works with the tex installation you happen to have. To do this, you would copy the file lilypond.info (or lilypond-devel.info if you want the very latest version; plus the corresponding *.patch file) from /sw/fink/dists/[un]stable/main/finkinfo/text/ to /sw/fink/dists/local/main/finkinfo/ and then edit it: - Change the Revision field to a higher revision, for example from 1005 to 1005.0 - Change the BuildDepends and Depends fields and remove the references to libkpathsea4, libkpathsea4-shlibs and tetex3-base. I am not betting that this will work, however. > PS: Are there any tendencies to keep fink's packages a bit more > up-to-date than they are now, or should one better move to macports? This is the kind of question that doesn't win you any friends here. You might ponder about why you haven't upgraded your system to Leopard yet, for example. And what more up-to-date version of lilypond do you want, and which version does macports have? -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Fink-beginners mailing list [email protected] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners
