Hi,
As David Morrison suggested, I had to run
fink selfupdate
This completed the full repository list. xfig was included, and I was able to
install it.
Could I suggest that running
fink selfupdate
be added as the final step to the installation guide? (
http://www.finkproject.org/doc/bundled/install-first.php ) If that step had
been included, the guide would have been perfect for me.
Otherwise, I really appreciate everyone's help.
Thanks again!
James.
