I am attempting to install some packages on a brand new Macbook pro running OS 10.8.2 with Fink 0.34.4. The error I am getting is the same 'Can't resolve dependency "system-java-dev (>= 1.5-1)" for package "libidn-1.22-6"' that appears to be quite common in the last few years.
I have spent extensive time searching old posts on this issue and I think I have tried everything that was recommended. Basically I feel like tossing my new MBP 13 inch retina out the window like a frisbee at this point. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I have installed both of the java dmg's from https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action - javadeveloper_for_os_x_2012006__11m3909.dmg - javadeveloper_for_os_x_2012005__11m3811.dmg ~$ fink -v Fink 0.34.4 ~$ which java /usr/bin/java ~$ java -version java version "1.6.0_37" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode) ~$ /usr/libexec/java_home -t CommandLine -V Matching Java Virtual Machines (4): 1.6.0_37-b06-434, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_37-b06-434.jdk/Contents/Home 1.6.0_37-b06-434, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_37-b06-434.jdk/Contents/Home 1.6.0_35-b10-428, x86_64: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_35-b10-428.jdk/Contents/Home 1.6.0_35-b10-428, i386: "Java SE 6" /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_35-b10-428.jdk/Contents/Home /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0_37-b06-434.jdk/Contents/Home ~$ fink-virtual-pkgs --debug 2>&1 | grep "checking Java" -A 11 - checking Java versions: - 1.6.0... nothing - 1.6... nothing - 1.5.0... nothing - 1.5... nothing - 1.5... nothing - 1.4.2... nothing - 1.4... nothing - 1.4... nothing - 1.3... nothing - searching for java3d... found /System/Library/Java/Extensions/j3dcore.jar - searching for javaai... found /System/Library/Java/Extensions/jai_core.jar ~$ ll /usr/bin/java lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74B Nov 4 21:47 /usr/bin/java@ -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java ~$ ll /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ total 64 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.4@ -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.4.2@ -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.5@ -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.5.0@ -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.6@ -> CurrentJDK lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10B Nov 4 21:47 1.6.0@ -> CurrentJDK drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 306B Nov 4 21:47 A/ lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1B Nov 4 21:47 Current@ -> A lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 59B Nov 4 21:47 CurrentJDK@ -> /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Yet-another-question-about-%27system-java-dev%27-tp34642972p34642972.html Sent from the fink-beginners mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Central: Instant, anywhere, Remote PC access and management.
