We take no responsibility for what other websites say to do. :-) You might suggest to the webmaster there that if they say to "Use Fink", that it would be useful to include some information about what to do to get their package installed, and how to run it. If you have Fink installed, as well as Xcode, then the following commands from the command line will install socnetv: 1) fink configure after you do that, then when asked if you want to use unstable packages, say Y 2) fink selfupdate-rsync - -or- fink selfupdate-cvs These commands will download current package descriptions for you. After running one or the other, you can use 'fink selfupdate' when you need to update. 3) fink install socnetv That will install a bunch of stuff that socnetv needs, as well as socnet itself. If you're on OS 10.4 you'll need to start X11 before step 4--otherwise just move on. 4) Then to run it, just type socnetv in a terminal window. This package doesn't happen to build a Mac-style application bundle. - -- Alexander Hansen Fink User Liaison -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxQcGoACgkQB8UpO3rKjQ+FnQCeKZIthtyHXJMk5lovLTxMvAvW 5qoAn3sQ40rPA29q/y8wyUM1hHOgI255 =6whB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
