I finally got Leopard into shape after a reinstall of the correct intel fink,
everything fink-ish working fine. Then decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard on
my way to Mountain Lion. Had fink 0.34... something, installed alright, Xcode
and Apple's X11 (which named itself XQuartz 2.3.6 as I recall). But none of my
applications, which required X11 (nedit, gv, xfig, et al) would start up, fink
responding with the oft-seen error about "libX11.6.dyld needing version 10.0.0,
but trying to use 9.0.0" (I may not have this quite right, of course I didn't
write it down ... I googled far and wide running across references but no
solutions to the problem...that I could understand).
So, I went on to Mountain Lion, installing it this morning, new Xcode 4.4.1,
new XQuartz 2.7.4, seemed like all the right stuff. To make a very long story
short, all my applications now run just dandy, but fink doesn't. No matter
what part of the fink instructions I try to follow and apply, I get with every
fink invocation the following:
quaternion-3:~ Mike$ fink --versionarch: /usr/bin/perl5.10.0 isn't executable
This is another ubiquitous error, seen and commented upon often. It would
appear that I probably missed an important point, like maybe I can't do a
stand-alone upgrade of fink on 10.6 to fink on 10.8. Which I think means I
have to uninstall fink with rm -rf /sw, and start over again. Say it isn't so
:( . Better yet, say there is a solution to the "/usr/bin/perl5.10.0 isn't
executable" problem without a reinstall. It sucks to be a newbie.
Thank you.
