I think it was a bad idea to advise people to use the gnome-core mailing list as a write-only list. This would work only under the condition that Keith is sitting there and answering all messages (which he obviously can't, even supposing he knew all the answers ;-) ) Otherwise people are all writing the same stuff over and over again.

There are archives, after all, at http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=36264

I think one should have asked that people look at the archives first before writing there. Plus ask them to look at the archives of fink-users and fink-beginners.

The time is too short yet for a FAQ, but in the past 2 days I have been advising between 2 and 5 times on each of the following problems, on various fink lists. I have no more time for this now, so I'll just leave a terse list. The details are in the archives.

[Q] error: `Dl_info' undeclared
[A]  Move /usr/local/include/dlfcn.h out of the way

[Q] ld: Undefined symbols: _FT_Access_Frame
[A]  Reinstall X11SDK.pkg (not sure if this works always)

[Q] ld: Undefined symbols: _rsvg_set_default_dpi
[A]  fink remove librsvg2; fink install librsvg2

[Q] /sw/include/pango-1.0/pango/pangoft2.h:52: error: parse error before '*' token
[A] fink remove freetype freetype-hinting


[Q] vteglyph.h:64: error: parse error before "FT_Library"
[A]  same answer as preceding problem

[Q] ld: font-view.o illegal reference to symbol: _FT_Get_PS_Font_Info defined in indirectly referenced dynamic library /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
[A] move /usr/local/lib/libfreetype*.dylib out of the way (the jury is still out on this one)
