You should be able to get your installation up to speed via these steps:
1) Install the Xcode Tools if you don't have them already (3.0, the version which comes with your OS media, will be OK) so that you have a compiler, since there is no binary for gthumb in Fink. 2) Run "fink selfupdate-cvs" to switch to cvs updating to get new package descriptions. This will update you to a new enough fink tool as well. 3) You should now be able to do a "fink install gthumb". 4) Then, you may want to use "fink selfupdate-rsync" to switch to rsync updating as it tends to be faster and less prone to server blockage (I had you use cvs because the "old" fink also wasn't set up for rsync). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
