Fink is not Debian, and OS X is not Linux. Even if you were able to
install Debian Linux packages, they wouldn't work (unless they contained
no libraries or executables, perhaps).
Our packages aren't necessarily named the same as the Debian analogs.
In this case you'd presumably want to install
qt4-mac-gui-shlibs | qt4-x11-gui-shlibs (depending on whether you want
the native Qt or the X11 version)
xerces-c-shlibs
libicu36-dev (the libraries are built in to the system but the headers
are not, so the -dev package is needed for other packages actually to
use them)
(but we don't have an analog to libxalan)
qt4 is currently only in the unstable tree, so you would need to turn
that on via "fink configure". If you're on OS 10.5, you'll need to run
the following sequence once:
fink selfupdate
fink selfupdate-rsync
fink index -f
fink selfupdate
and then you'll have the unstable package descriptions, and will
thereafter just require "fink selfupdate" to update them.
To install Fink packages from source, use "fink install <packagenames>",
which in your case would be
fink install qt4-gui-shlibs xerces-c-shlibs libicu36-dev
However, we don't currently have a C-based xalan library, just the
java-based xalan-j. You might contact the xalan-j maintainer (via the
Maintainer address shown if you run 'fink info xalan-j') and see if he
would be interested in making the C library available, too.
