Dear Fink Developers
I think many of you are in the same situation: You want/should support packages in the 10.2-gcc3.3 tree but are using 10.3 as your main OS. Instead of keeping a machine with 10.2 around or restarting from another partition you could create a chroot environment. I tried to do it using the description from
<http://darwinports.gene-hacker.net/chroot-howto.html> or <http://darwinports.gene-hacker.net/docs/howto/chroot_10.2/>
How i did it exactly is noted below (including updating the developer tools to GCC 3.3 and the installation of Fink).
--> And here is where i need some advice: It kind of worked but i have two problems:
1.
During the Fink bootstrap i get a lot of errors like "*** malloc_zone_malloc[26616]: argument too large: -2041" right after setting up the newly bootstrapped packages. For details see below in the section "/bin/ps crash" Has anybody seen this before? What could that be?
2.
'cvs' also seems to crash, even if i install the fink binary package of cvs. See below in the section "cvs crash".
Any help or hints would be highly appreciated. It would also help if somebody could try to reproduce my problems.
Thanks, Chris.
PS: Once these issues are solved it would probably be good to include these instructions somewhere on the fink webpage.
